There is this youtube channel called "rational animation" that is full of libaral brainrot. This one video being a prime example.

The ousing liberalism and idealism in this channel has been bothering me for a while and I've been wanting to ask your opinions and criticisms of it.

When confronted by YouTube brainworms, I add said brainworm channels to my Block Tube list. Then I don't have to deal with anymore brainworms 😀

Edit: oh God o fuck I didn't see I was posting in Maine.

Scientific research happens slowly, and there's even some evidence that the rate of technological progress has slowed down

...but nevermind that, look at this animated gold

Wack definition of capital.

The video suggests that capital is just equipment and supplies. This is... misleading. Capital is anything that, through owing it, provides a passive income. So equipment can be capital, only if its owner is using it to generate income; like by hiring someone else to use the equipment, and keeping part of the productive result as profit.

Many cognitive scientists and neuroscientists regularly analogize the brain to a computer and believe that everything we do is the consequence of algorithums [...] within our brains

YEAH AND A CENTURY AGO THEY ANALOGIZED IT TO A STEAM ENGINE; DOES THAT MEAN MY SKULL IS FULL OF FLYWHEELS?

Unless the human brain performs literal magic, then we have good reason to believe we should be able to replicate its abilities in a computer.

See, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of computers. There's plenty of stuff in physics, hell in math itself, that cannot be reduced down to a computer programme. Not every problem is algorithmic. We talk about brains being algorithmic because it's the easiest comparison to hand... and because it would be really really convenient if they were.

this was mostly dumb speculation for the sake of speculation, while purposefully ignoring any potentials that would be less fun to speculate about.

only instead of admitting to doing a fun speculation, it has to make itself this Grand Statement on The Future

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
