I really really enjoyed this chat with my fellow Irishman Jim and his co-host Seb on The Earthly Delights Podcast where we talk about how I discovered philosophy in a time of need and that ever-timeless question "What exactly IS philsosophy?". It's a long one but I promise you it's a whole heap of fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d37AM...
Another great podcast chat with Sean McFadden here for you. We had a great chat around different theories of power and as ever with Sean I learned a heap and have come away with a lot of new thoughts and rabbit holes to follow. Hope you enjoy it: https://youtu.be/iHndtF77BdM
Update: So I thought you'd all appreciate an update after all your support and the help with the age-restriction of The Last Man video. I really appreciate all the support with this. I've learned a few things about how this process works. It turns out it's a black box. I thought it was just me but as it turns out YouTube's policies around this are inherently opaque. They couldn't tell me what part of the video (or even if the problem was the video and not the thumbnail as I originally suspected) was causing the problem. I gave up on Twitter and went through YouTube itself (another thing that I learned) and the helper that I was dealing with was very accommodating but she was hampered by the limitations of the regulations. I couldn't even learn whether YouTube looks poorly on a repost. From what I can tell from the broader internet though it doesn't seem to be immediately problematic and so the plan is to take down the older version and reupload and see if this second version (with the newer thumbnail) leads to the same result. At that point I'll happily give up. So if you see the video popping up in your feed again that's what's going on.
I could use a little help. Our recent video "The Last Man" has been age-restricted on YouTube which has basically killed it dead in the water as far as momentum is concerned. I've been in contact with "Team YouTube" on X/Twitter trying to find out why but after a few messages I hit a brick wall and they ultimately started ignoring me. If you could take a minute of your time and go on and like the tweet (and if you want to above and beyond leave a comment) it would mean a lot. I suspect it's a case of the machine being too big for the left hand to know what the right hand is doing but I'm curious to see if a little bit of a surge of energy might elicit a response.
I had another great chat with Sean McFadden recently and as ever with Sean I learned a lot and we played around with a lot of thoughts and ideas. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEKfl...
