Hello patrons!

Tonight I'll be livestreaming at 1900 British time, talking about the previous episode of Philosophy Tube and how it was made. I'll chat about some of the good constructive feedback the episode got, as well as the process behind it - including recording with Jonathan Frakes as Thomas Jefferson.

Hope you can join me!

Was that Coyote & Crow? I posted on their video saying I would share it here, and now I'm getting people telling me I should cancel my support for Philosophy Tube because Abi "defends genocide." I thought the Coyote & Crow video had some good points, but I saw way more hostility in the comments than I usually do. Are we not on the same side? Very frustrating. I am still supporting Philosophy Tube because I think Abi can do better, and not supporting seems worse! I haven't watched the stream yet though.

I watched the stream! I was overall very happy with Abi's takeaway. I was impressed with the grace and humility she showed when speaking about the video and the feedback it got. There were two things that I wanted to talk about: 1. Not wanting to make amends publicly for (biblical?) reasons. I heard people asking for a public apology, and although this could indeed be seen as clout-chasing, I think if Abi were willing to do that publicly, and accept the risk of being _seen_ as hypocritical, that could have been done with even _more_ integrity, and provided healing for some fans who felt betrayed. But I could see it as a distraction from the issues, so I can also respect the way she handled it - especially since it was already stressful to deal with the feedback from the video itself. 2. Calling Indigenous genocide a "niche" issue was very painful for me to hear. It may be seen that way by many, but for me, the genocides of Indigenous Americans and Africans are _the_ defining policies of the United States, and nothing could be more influential on the modern world. All the bitter trauma of my life is a reflection of these acts. All the material wealth I have, and the land I live on, is stained with the blood of the people who were dehumanized, tortured, murdered, and enslaved here. My relationships with neighbors, friends, and family are strained with the knowledge of the cruelty that we have inflicted upon one another over the generations. And I see that as the primary cause of dysfunction in our political lives as well.
