Since we have been doing this for a while we thought it might be fun to have a light-hearted tier-ranking video of all the previous decoding figures.

So find our tier ranking and discussion attached, and play along at home if you like at this link: https://tiermaker.com/create/modern-gurus-17331102

Editor Andy will make a nicer version in a while so consider this the early raw cut with no fancy editing!

Ranking the Gurus

We thought it would be fun to revisit all the potential gurus we have covered and rank them on a tier list. If you would like to play along here is a link where you can make your own ranking: https://tiermaker.com/create/modern-gurus-17331102

A tier list! You're finally a real YouTube channel.

Sam Harris?

Adam Sher

Bret leaving his wife in the dust. Are you sure it's not on account of Bret talking the most like Chris does? Maybe she's the full professor of the relationship

Graham Clarke

I think you need to sort them based on the gurumeter scores and see how close you got!

Awakening Wonk

One thing missing from the commentary that matters to me is either antisemitism, anti Islam, and anti lgbt levels. But I still loved this refresher. Thanks for putting it together.

David Noble

I think the only one I would disagree with is Contrapoints. If she is D tier because she formulates theories then Dennett and Bregman would be D also. So would any philosopher or economist... but then DtG's infamous philosopher *hatred* would probably be fine with calling them all gurus.

An Irish cognitive anthropologist and an Australian psychologist walk into a ranking system… 🤣 You guys are my favs… so entertaining! Tiers of laughter. ‘O’ for awesome! Also I literally had a nightmare with Russel Brand in it after listening to that latest clip so that’s bad: he is THE WORST GURU AND MOST ANNOYING AND OFFENSIVE IDIOT OF ALL TIME (sorry, that was a bit shouty). 🥸

Need to cover more mid gurus to achieve that proper distribution curve!

Would love to hear more about what Matt has to say about Russell Brand
