I’m on the same page. While I might disagree with them in some cases, Bret and Heather appear to be good faith actors honestly concerned with pursuing the truth.
I like Eric for his unique mathematical perspective and general entertainment value but he’s much more of a wild card, and some of his takes — especially on politics — are absolutely terrible (just like Sam).
For some reason ultra-intellectuals like Eric and Sam tend to lose sight of reality, particularly the most human aspects of reality, and falsely believe the world and society is a simple machine for them to modify and tweak in order to achieve a desired result. I’m sorry but that’s just not how the world works, and you cannot even begin to affect change in society without understanding human nature and the paramount role it plays in practically every aspect of human civilization.
