> I could be wrong

You avowed as much when you can't elucidate on any of his political views but label him right wing. Presumably because he went on the Joe rogan podcast or something.

He's a strong-looking white guy. Imposing appearance + white can only mean "right wing." /s

IMO it's a bit laughable to try to pin him down. I've never heard a hint of a lean any political direction.

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.

When did I or anyone else use that word and why be condescending?

You don't need to respond, as I can already determine the answer based on your proud announcement of avoiding modern things.

Ditch the superiority 'i think differently than everyone else' complex. You'll be happier and overall better for it.

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.

The flag is the result of brigading, and means absolutely nothing to me. And you are being disingenuous. Consider this my final reply.

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).

Re:Andrew Huberman Has Supplements on the Brain by slothtrop on Monday April 10, 2023 @08:37AM (#35511549)
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.
Re:Andrew Huberman Has Supplements on the Brain by skinnymuch on Monday April 10, 2023 @10:14AM (#35512548)
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

You can also check how Wikipedia defines liberalism.

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.
