Summary from the youtuber that made this video “The living philosophy”:

"For Nietzsche The Last Man stood as the opposite of the Ubermensch and the great danger of the “levelling” tendency of modernity. In this episode we are going to look at what Nietzsche meant by the Last Man and how his prophecy has come through. We look at The Last Man in 21st century society and what Nietzsche got right even while we should be cautious of fully embracing his ideal.

The video above features Aba and Preach as they review a tiktok by a trans man on his experience in being treated as constant possible threat due to now being perceived as a man. There’s some jokes here and there but some decent discussion of the differences in how men and women are perceived in everyday life.

From the video description:

"The British Library is one of the six legal deposit libraries for the UK — and the only one that doesn’t pick and choose, or have to ask for copies. That’s a lot of books to store, and the internet’s only making it worse. ■ The BL: https://bl.uk ■ UK Web Archive: https://www.webarchive.org.uk/

This video has a correction: it turns out the formal interview requirement for a reader pass has been dropped. However, you’ll still need to get a pass, and you’re not allowed to take books out of the reading rooms! You can see all corrections on the channel here: https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/

The video above dives into some of the challenges in developing and administering experimental drugs that can be used as birth control options for men as the main ones available to men are condoms and vasectomies which isn’t a lot. From the video summary on youtube:

“Condoms and vasectomies remain pretty much the extent of birth control options for people who produce sperm, and both have problems. So why is almost all hormonal birth control aimed at those with ovaries? There have been some successes targeting the biological feedback process for hormones that regulate new sperm production, but progress is slow.”

The video above is an interview with a researcher named William Costello who’s part of a wider team of researchers taking an empirical approach to understanding incels and the problems they face. Whereas the usual pop-sci understanding of incels starts and stops with the misogyny in their communities. The empirical focus gives us better results as it reveals the mental status and situations incels themselves are dealing with and why modern upbringings are failing them.

You can find their research here and I highly recommend giving it it a look: http://www.psychstudies.co.uk/sisnet.php

The video above is a documentary highlighting the story of a man whose untreated mental health problem and a punitive justice system resulted in him getting life with no parole in prison after getting rejected and turned down from programs that would have helped him recover.

I edited the name of the post to better reflect the content of the video as the original video title is just “Don’t waste it”, the host talks about the stats relating to how many people in the modern world in first world countries are still counted as illiterate and how those stats made him reflect on how lucky he was in being encouraged to read and still does to this day. I like this video as a decent summation of what makes reading wonderful in and of itself.

Lots of graphic novels and manga, once done with that I have a nice gardening book to look forward to:

• Home after Dark by David Small

• Kuusama by Elisa Macellari

• The Climber by Shinichi Sakamoto

This summary is from the youtube channel that made it: History Dose.

"The young sailor Sam Bellamy sails to the West Indies to seek Spanish gold and discovers a sea infested with thieves. Turning pirate himself, Bellamy navigates a back-stabbing and libertine underworld host to the pirates of Nassau, including Henry Jennings, Benjamin Hornigold and Blackbeard.

The art is original and manually made by Joseph Feely. "

The usual mantras for guided meditations are abstract and focus on guiding your breathing but this one is more down to earth imho.

Small criticism, I think your first article on “The redditor’s guide to how Kbin works” is the one packed with the most useful information for any newbie migrating from reddit or any social media so it deserves a sticky or some kind of mechanism to make it the first thing that pops up imho. Otherwise, awesome work. I thought the Artemis app was still in exclusive beta so it’s good to hear it’s available on the app store now.
