Huberman is slightly more right wing which is more masculine. I could be wrong. I can’t name any of his views off the top of my head but he is considered one of the new gatekeepers of the intellectual dark web alongside contemporaries like Lex Fridman. Women are normally considered more egalitarian. I believe there’s studies on this. I run an online coworking community and keeping people who present as men is harder than people presenting as women. It’s been an issue with people noticing and commenting on the patterns of the community wrt genders. I try not to care about gender personally. > always have to put a label on everything > Ergo, women must be gentle but not aggressive. > “X is clearly male” This isn’t what people like the author who complain about “bro-ey” are normally trying to say. I don’t think they meant any extreme stuff like the above. I agree their tone could be better.

  I could. He’s a proponent of capitalism as a working class person with various liberal views. These views overlap with a certain perspective of the world. I’m speaking of what right wing means to the world, not just America (I’m American).

    Liberalism in and of itself does not mean "right wing" to the world. As you would have it, the only thing disqualifying one from being a conservative is being a commie or anarchist.

      I didn’t say conservative. I said or meant, [leans] right wing. I wouldn’t call Huberman conservative. Would you? What do you call the Liberal Party of Australia? They aren’t left leaning at all. I’d be eager to get an answer to this because I keep getting called elitist and I don’t get it. I thought Americans like myself aren’t supposed to think the world revolves around America. “The Liberal Party of Australia is a centre-right political party in Australia,[21] one of the three[22] major parties in Australian politics” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Australia You can also check how Wikipedia defines liberalism.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics You don't even understand the terms you're flinging around. Ring-wing explicitly, unambiguously, means Conservative. > What do you call the Liberal Party of Australia? They aren’t left leaning at all. And the Liberal party of Canada is. All of the Western world is Liberal. It can either be left-leaning or right-leaning. It does not make a lick of sense to suggest that the only thing that anywhere near leans left is Socialism (this is the only possible conclusion that can be inferred from your rhetoric), while you lump everything else that functionally uses Capitalism as "the right". This is not the colloquial understanding.

        My question I’m wondering for you. Who are capitalists and anti-capitalists? And can capitalists be left-wing in your view of the world’s overton window? Do you consider the Global North not right wing? The modern overton window is moving to the right as I’m sure you’re aware and you’re trying to say it has moved enough that being capitalist now means left wing. What year do you think this change finally happened? It wasn’t this way during the 50s. The Overton window was much more to the left back then. Free market economies are a right wing ideal, no? Like China isn’t a free market economy.

    Did you know liberal doesn’t mean left-wing? I was remarking on him from a global perspective. As an American I’m aware that I don’t speak for 7.5B+ other nationalities. I didn’t know Huberman was white by the way. I don’t use the internet with JS or images on sometimes. I may have skimmed the article too much.

        Do you mean how I manage being on the spectrum and having ADHD? Sometimes I don’t use JS or images. That’s 20% of the time. I was giving a reason for why I didn’t know Huberman’s race to account for possibly why it’s obvious to other people like you. The white thing was brought up by you. Not for you to use my reasoning as some fodder while we are both on a hyper-capitalist VC forum. Now this discussion isn’t about any of the original comments. Why not discuss things instead of shutting down any convo? > Ditch the superiority 'i think differently than everyone else' complex. When could that statement not be used against someone like me defending my position even with ridicule happening? Or not used against your comment? Edit: your comment is dead now. I didn’t downvote/flag it.

        Your questions indicate to me a clear pattern of condescension. I don't see value engaging with straw man arguments and non sequitur rhetorical questions.

        You have a comment flagged as dead for presumably being too mean spirited. I go out of my way to edit my comment to let you know I didn’t do that. Yet you still double down on insulting me again (!)…I can’t tell if you’re joking or not. My last question was not rhetorical.

I don’t think it’s fair to say Huberman is right wing. Can you point to any evidence from things he has said or published that aligns with the right wing? Every time I’ve listened to him it’s been factual/anecdotal talking about the topic at hand which is not political.
- skinnymuch 4y ago
  I’m saying he as a person leans to the right. That includes if he says things that are status quo and not considered right wing to a minority of the world. For example many Americans believe liberals are leftists and vice versa. Someone who replied to me pointed to what others have seen. There’s overlap between other right leaning people and Huberman. Their comment is deleted now though.
  - inerte 4y ago
    It was me. I decided to delete because the supplement and conflict of interest discussion derailed into politics, but I basically said I don’t know if _he_ leans, but after watching Huberman, YouTube started recommending me Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, with a couple of Ben Shapiro videos in there. At least the YouTube algo thinks there’s an overlap. Brought it up again because didn’t want to leave you hanging in there, but other than a comment either about YT algo or audience overlap, I didn’t want to make the whole thing too much about USA politics.

      That might be just signal boosting, no? I mean all those people are on each others podcasts often and also have a large number of common guests. So yeah - YT thinks they’re all into the same thing but I’ve never heard Huberman get into politics.
      - skinnymuch 4y ago
        Huberman usually does not interact with people who don't at least lean right. I think I could look around and list 100 people on the left and right. Various small or big time streamer sort of people. The overlap is minimal. Bill Maher for example appears on leaning right stuff nowadays not left leaning things since politics and socialism have become clearer and more mainstream since Bill Maher was incorrectly seen as a Huberman type character. Some one in the middle. Not leaning right. Tldr: People who don't believe in the virtues of capitalism are not interacting much with Huberman and vice versa. Same with the leaning right people listed.
