More Ruhe/Paññobhāsa Interview Videos

     I have continued to be interviewed by Herr Brian Ruhe for his video channel once per week, with multiple segments posted from each interview. I would have said his YouTube channel, but a few weeks ago the YouTube thought police purged almost all of his content from the site, including our interviews. This was probably not because of any of the content of our discussions (though some of it could be politically incorrect enough to elicit a few red flags), but more because of his alt-right politics, rampant rejection of official narratives, etc. But anyhow, his stuff is still on Bitchute, to which site I am gradually transitioning, since YouTube appears to be moving towards 1984 mode with regard to unpersoning content creators guilty of non-leftist wrongthink. Even so, I have posted a few of these videos, thus far, on my old YouTube channel, which channel I had pretty much ignored for several years.

     I don’t edit, produce, or name these videos, except for the titles to the videos I post onto my own YouTube channel; and if I did provide the thumbnails etc. I might indulge in a bit more subtlety at times, but never mind. For the most part I stand by all of this, even though when talking off the cuff I occasionally misspeak, or omit to say something important, and may occasionally get a little too “edgy” in my social critiques to suit even nonconformist western Buddhists. But that’s all OK too. I consider much of the stuff below to be important, and potentially even helpful. I’m seriously considering getting a Styxhexenhammer mug and a spoon for future videos.
