And it’s totally cool to disagree! (isn’t nostr weird?)

I have close family friends, whom I love and respect, who would agree with your opinion here. And it’s true that he’s willing to broach subjects that many others won’t touch.

My issue is the incentives. I can’t shake the feeling that his motivation is “off”. And he frequently promotes a point of view where the powerful, rich, and deeply-entrenched incumbent is the first entity to profit from people buying Carlson’s arguments. As a bitcoiner, my first instinct is to be skeptical of this.

There’s a school of psychotherapy called NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) where you re-train your psyche and form new internal narratives.

The scary thing is that many politicians and pundits (left and right) employ these techniques in order to promote their party’s view. But the most adept/skillful of anyone is Tucker Carlson. He uses textbook “modern hypnotism” methods and makes it appear like he’s just a curious skeptic.

That shit can’t be good…
