One of the more interesting developments that the internet has created in the last 2 years has been the debate-sphere.
And in that sphere, the concept of "worldview" has gained serious ground - epistemology, ethics, metaphysics - as a way to encapsulate & evaluate opposing religions and ideologies.
The result has been fantastic. We're in the middle of global worldview MMA cage fight - redpill vs feminism vs tradcath vs atheist vs Islam vs Christianity vs Zionism vs communism, etc..
We are on the cusp of WW3 and this is still what they are worried about.

Everyone's heard of NewPipe on Android, the YouTube replacement app that strips out the ads.
Even better is a forked app called Tubular. It's the exact same UI but with extra addons that:
1. automatically skip the intros, outros and mid-stream ads
2. restores the dislike count on videos.
It's hands down the best YouTube replacement. Get it on IzzyDroid:
@Based_Accelerationist Andy Tate's religion is whichever one gets him in front of eyeballs.
@shortstories Find a buddy with land and practice farming. At some point in the future, not starving in the cities and grubbing in the dirt will be a pretty good deal.
@Tfmonkey The Van Allen Belts were shielded by gold foil. Its not a lost technology. What NASA was referring to are the heavy lift F1 rocket engines. We've since effectively solved this with Space X's Raptor Engine. The and methods of manufacture have been lost due to outsourcing and obsolescence. The US almost lost its thermonuclear arsenal because we forgot how to produce Fogbank, and only by fluke were we able to accidentally re-discover how to make it again. The government is incompetent.
