 No chance I'm going to listen to him talk that long, but it's fascinating to see someone that popular get exposed like this.

The first and only video I watched of his gave me a very odd feeling. It was entertaining, but I didn't like what was being expressed.

Destruction of valuable possessions for attention and followers, virtue signalling, among other strange things.

 It's so wild... he's obviously very smart but still very 'young'. Being among what might be the last of the hyper-famous, it's probably gonna take a pretty big reality check to shift his focus. Time will tell I suppose.
