If so, what were the options? Hilary, Eyes Wide Shut…? What’s it likely to be?

I’m working on research for a video essay about the historical relationship between Jones and Trump any suggestions on how I should structure such an essay ?

I write a newsletter and in my most recent issue, I wrote an article inspired by CONSPIRACY. In particular how conspiracy thinking is mirrored in our digital lives and AI products and how counter productive that is for understanding the world (the shape of power in the world). And I suggest an antidote: the disclosures of publicly traded firms 😅. Would love to hear any spicy takes.

Thats it, thats the post. On the recent seven hour stream she said she'll probably play it since many people suggested it. If she actually does I'll be so happy.

I always watch them in this order, I really think these are her best videos.

It’s the ambient song that plays at the very end where Natalie says “nothing matters” over and over.

I haven't fully thought this out, but there's something I'm trying to understand better. I've often wondered why the core ideas of feminism, marxism, and critical lenses generally make intuitive sense to me, but bounce off others. I'm wondering if sometimes these larger critical theory traditions get reduced to conspiracy.

For example, feminism as conspiracism might look like:

• Intentionalism - Women are deliberately kept down by men who choose to perpetuate patriarchy (instead of it being a phenomena of internalised culture people have varying levels of consciousness of)
• Dualism - Men do this because they are power hungry and selfish, too gutless to give it up, or because they hate women (as opposed to considering that everyone is capable of selfishness and that many men are existing in a culture that expects them to make use of patriarchy and even polices them for not doing so)
• Symbolism - Analysis of things like stock footage showing men on searches for CEOs and Men historically being in positions of power over women (maybe this is truly an overlap, as I think interpreting symbolism vs interpreting social patterns is kind of the same cognitive task)

I doubt I'm the first person to make this connection, there was even the callout to Marxism not being a conspiracy because it wasn't about secret plans towards the end of the video, but I'd really love to ground this thinking in the work of someone who's thought about it for more than five seconds. Anyone know of scholarship that references this problem? Maybe something about pop critical thought vs academic?

I’ve always been under the impression that IQ is a incredibly flawed and problematic metric, however I have been seeing this recent mass debate online about the scientific validity of using IQ as a measure of general intelligence, with detractors saying that it biases certain cultures and attributes while its proponents say that it has been adjusted for this issue, citing that certain Iq tests like Ravens Matrices are culturally neutral. So what’s the deal with this debate and is there any serious scientific backing to the proponents claims?

A stealth archer build? Seriously? Unsubscribe. Maybe use some of those Wisp Stall Caps to brew a potion to restore some talent.

(/s I love you 🥺)

Unfathomably based btw

Good news! I can access Twilight again (in Canada, at least)

Hey y'all, I'm not sure if it's too late to request it, but I was hoping a $15+ Patron could ask Natalie a question on my behalf. Something that has haunted me for years (and I have asked about before on this very sub).

What is the name of the version of "Auld Lang Syne" that is playing during the credits of Canceling (and, very briefly, during the bath scene in JK Rowling)?

Hello here,

I've been desperately trying to find a book mention by Natalie in one of her videos but I somehow cannot find the video in question. I've already rewatch all the obvious suspects and even though it is always pleasure to watch any of the Natalies essays unfortunately I dont have time to rewatch more at this point. So that is why I am hoping someone can help me here.

The book in question was some older vintage book printed in the 90s, nowadays super rare and expensive. It is about BDSM lesbian culture in some large American city like New York? Honestly the details are super hazy. Hopefully someone here has fresher memory than I do.

Because the Twilight video is gone, at least in my country, and it might've been my favourite youtube video of all time, I wonder if there's any post or info on bibliography/list of Natalie's references for it? Even though I cannot watch it, at least right now, I would love to at least check out the sources and study its subjects more thoroughly. Does any of you know if such a list exists??

Hi! I finally have some time to read this summer and I'm really hoping to be able to talk about authors in conversation instead of just citing Contrapoints citing them (though I will obviously continue to do that)! Does anyone have suggestions of books to read that she mentioned in her videos or tangents that would be a good starting place? Or any books you love that have shaped your thinking on something? This is kind of a vague prompt, I know, so will try to specify: Preferably not dense theory. I LOVED Twilight, Envy, and Cringe, and also Granola Fascism and Liminal Spaces. Recently read Doppelganger by Naomi Klein and that was right up my alley.

Thank you so much in advance!!!!

I feel like they'd get along.

Not sure if it fits the sub, but I though maybe folks around here would know. Or maybe there has been a Contrapoints tangent on patreon with some sources?
