It’s out

The personalities I speak of claim to have monopoly on revelation, those like the chap in the OP do not.

So this is the power of watching 45 minute videos on Youtube by guys with BAs in Philosophy instead of reading Philosophy....

>BAs in Philosophy
That's being optimistic, really. On the topic of them presenting philosophical text through a lens of ideology, that honestly is how these YouTubers themselves were exposed to philosophy. I'm skeptical as to whether most of these people have even read their primary sources.

To use the example of Christianity again, whether or not somebody is all agenda, or claims to be, how can you tell if they are "sincerely attempting to reveal truth?" I can't prove or disprove that any of these YouTubers actually believes what they're saying. I could do it just as well as I could prove that about any Christian, or Matthew and Mark for that matter.

I don't know they all seem like they just have their politics, and they promote them. I don't see the big deal about the fact that people who make videos have opinions and belief systems.

>how can you tell if they are "sincerely attempting to reveal truth?
You're an atheist. A materialist too I assume? I'm not taking the piss here; but you're simply not predisposed to understanding the answer to that question.

Lmao

I could say the same thing about you, presumably being a Christian. You see, accusing somebody of "manipulating the narrative to suit their agenda" in many cases just means disagreeing with them.

Is-? Is that Sargoy of Applebees and STJ? When and why did that pic happen?

Not a Christian.

academics have been rap beef since the days of the Greeks you uncultured swine
go read some Enlightenment or Reformation pamphlets, see how much shit gets thrown around by guys like John Milton and Thomas Hobbes
