Youtube is dead: the lost avant garde of intellectual dissent on the internet

Implicitly, this is a significant contrast to my old "manifesto" titled On Community, although it does not address the thesis of that video, directly, in any way: if you regard this as a manifesto, it is addressed to the youtuber (or podcaster) as a solitary intellectual dissident, cultural critic, commentator and comedian --not as the center of an incipient community, pulling together like-minded people (as per "the spirit season one") with an ambition to accomplish something more than they could ever attempt alone.

Elagabalus and the Religion of Rome: Emperor, Empress, Priest and Priestess.

Elagabalus is now celebrated as "the first transgender emperor of Rome", raising questions of the limits of tolerance in the Ancient Greco-Roman world: did he cross some line that Nero never crossed? And was that line sexual, religious or political? Why is it that Elagabalus would be remembered as the lowest of the low by Roman historians who had already narrated the excesses (gay, straight and bisexual) of Nero and so many others? Why would Elagabalus have his name scraped off of monuments at the command of the senate after his death, while others who'd committed worse offenses would undergo apotheosis, and instead be referred to as gods?
