She really is one of the best things about the internet right now, and having watched her videos from almost day one it’s been really interesting to watch her deal with her own identity, her sense of performance and irony, and a whole host of other things. Every time she tackles an issue, it’s nearly always incredibly thoughtful and well researched. That Peterson responded to her criticism with “no comment” is among the funnier things to have happened this year. We need a 1000 Contras. https://www.theverge.com/tech/2018/8/24/17689090/contrapoints-youtube-natalie-wynn

It really is, trying to express the entirety of human existence and every last thing in the universe through a small number of words is inherently reductive.
