Philosophy Tube

Abigail and Oliver are our playful guides to interesting ideas. Real brain food presented in an exceptionally well dressed and executed theatrical concept. Challenging whilst always being approachable and extremely well researched. Self aware to the nth degree. I'm in love.

 

(First video discusses YouTube and truthfulness, Para social relationships and (here it excels) also an analysis of the creators own thoughts on the process of making a widely seen video discussing their own mental health including suicidal thoughts and despair...whilst finding a way to be simultaneously honest and also algorithm - successful.)

Andrew van de Vaart, MD, Phd

 

Look inside strange minds with Andrew and you'll learn some things about your own. Don't look too deeply though... 

 

AvdV will probably educate you in your inner workings, and he also provides a strangely chaotic, yet ultimately structured narrative and analytical approach which keeps me consciously processing the content in satisfying way. Also some great dark humor.

I don't watch bike videos unless they're reruns of new world disorder 2 so it has to be this

Yeah they’re good but not as good as KEXP, the sound engineering at KXEP is an example of perfection

One for the Axe and blacksmithing lovers.

Alec Steele at the Gransfors Bruks workshops in Sweden. 

I have two of their axes and mine are stamped EB which I think is the Emil in the video without the hat (there are two Emils) so that's pretty cool 😊

Having watched loads of bikepacking/touring videos I recon that Lewi Blake’s vids take some beating for out there bonkers bikepacking. 

This is his latest which I really enjoyed, but if you too liked it,  it’s worth going back a few videos and looking at how he got to where he is…

I love watching blacksmithing stuff but for some reason Alec Steele REALLY gets on my nerves!

Genuine artistry in here.  An absolute gem full stop, never mind youtube.  A short skate film for the ages, I reckon.

My old mate stars in a video for beer which is very apt, I’ve known Stephen since early 90’s but he moved from here in Galloway back up to fairisle 10odd years ago to fulfill his destiny (and birthright) where his ancestral tree can be traced back 500 years
