I watched a video of his a few years ago, and thought “interesting take”. Then I saw another video of his recently and thought “this guy’s nuts. Prob a flat earther too”
Pretty much. It seems to be the way a lot of these grifters go.
Even Tucker Carlson. I’m Canadian, so I knew nothing about Carlson when I first saw some clips about him (like 8 years ago now). And in those clips he said some innocuous and fairly reasonable things. Then YouTube’s algorithm did what it does best (you watch one new type of video and then that’s all it shows you for recommendations) and then I started to see the “real” Tucker Carlson and was grossed out.

oh look, it’s me with Prager U and their piece on Modern Art.
“These idiots are shitting in jars and putting balls in folmaldahyde and calling it art. That’s bullshit” You’re right!
“The true reason for art was for JEEEESSUUUUUSS” Fucking hell no.
I remember seeing JP on YT when he wasn’t really that famous yet, arguing against that Canadian law about not using the correct pronoun for someone being a criminal offense when regular swear words aren’t and I thought okay, that’s reasonable I guess, inconsistencies are bad. Let’s see what else he has.
And then came the lectures about natural hierarchies or something and some other things where I went okaaay, I guess I don’t have the full context of his lectures. Suspense of disbelief and such.
But three videos in and it was clear. Glad I got off that train before it left.
Some stuff is interesting but the rest are just annoying hot takes that nobody asked for. He’s always complaining. Dividing a fragile open source community

Seems to be a common formula.

That’s how we all met Lunduke.
