My YouTube Channel

I am not crazy about making videos. I don't have great tools for the job, can't speak well on a topic without writing out my lines, and don't like putting all the work into it.

I have, however, made a few, and posted them here.

I'll be quick to point out that my mannerisms in videos is more gentle and fair than what's seen in type on this blog. This is because I'm prepared to see some degree of disagreement on YouTube, and would like to have initiated it in a comfortably civil manner. I am not there to burn bridges.

At the same time, I am confident in my views. I am not closed-minded, but I've heard most of it already and I'm not afraid to state my own thoughts while I wait for something better. That's why this place is here: even if no one is listening, I want to say what's on my mind and I have no reason to censor it.

Compare any arrogance or self-righteousness you see in my words to an evangelist or religious leader. I'm not claiming to speak for God. I speak for myself.

The key difference is that of offense vs. defense. This blog is, essentially, offensive. I will criticize anything I feel is worthy of it. My videos are more of an attempt to rebut, and while there is plenty out there to rebut, I am not the best at it, and so many others have already covered a lot of ground.

I feel both offense and defense are an important part of discussion and debate, and that the two see some degree of interchangeability. They are also each more or less appropriate for different environments, and to avoid going down certain roads I'm not suited for, I've leaned in a defensive route on YouTube.

Ultimately, this written format is just what I'm better at, but feel free to subscribe to my YT channel. I will continue to occasionally release videos there, and I hope they will be of some use or interest.
