The $100 goal has been reached, so I'll be getting a better microphone soon (In a few weeks, as I'm in the process of moving out). Thank you! I'll try finishing a new video this week. The video on social construction and the video on competition in socialism got an equal amount of votes, so I'll be doing the one on social construction, as I had already started writing the script for it. See you soon!

1) The video on American Psycho would primarily be an analysis of the movie in light of Baudrillard. I would explain some of the ways in which he characterized the postmodern condition, and although I will use American Psycho as an example, you won't have to have seen the movie to understand the main points.
2) In the video on ...
Hello and thank you to the first patrons! I'm not sure how people do this, so I figured I could start out by posting the script to my most recent video "Did the Sokal affair "destroy postmodernism"?" without charge. Posting scripts is something that I'll be doing for all future videos for the patrons who pledge $5. In the future I may also post casual reading notes I make while reading stuff rela...
