Honestly this isn't academically/scientifically rigorous. It's unfortunate that Matt Christmas did not undertake some form of higher level learning to give a better framework to his ideas because otherwise it's most just vibes. As much as the college system sucks I don't think anyone can argue that it does give you the ability to put forward well thought arguments and ideas (or you can be a sellout striver as is usually the case).

He does have some higher learning. I believe Matt has a bachelor's and master's degree in history. He talked several times about how he dropped out of his PhD program because he didn't want to go into academia and a history PhD is only useful if you are trying to become a history professor. I think that the more loose vibes based part is just because that is how he liked to deal with the Cush Vlog content and his streaming/podcasting style. He said that the Cush Vlog was him just airing out thoughts and ideas that came to him that day/week and seeing if other people thought there was something there to pursue further.

Who is Ben Burgis? Can I get a quick rundown?

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago

Jacobin style soc-dem that does introductory philosophy content and debates people online.

I'd describe him, but I don't wanna get banned

[–] determinism2@hexbear.net 5 points 3 hours ago

He was on the michael brooks show a few times - professor of logic or something. Did debate stuff, had a youtube - maybe still does, debates at people.
