Dr. Alok 'Dr. K' Kanojia

What I want to focus on today is why this blows up and the way in which it blows up.

Because, and this is what's kind of wild, I think I'm really starting to believe that the most dangerous thing on the planet

is the psychological dynamics that we see happening in Collargate.

The reason I want to talk about Collargate is not because I'm invested in shitting on Hasan or supporting Hasan or anything like that.

I have nothing against the guy.

I've had one interaction with him.

I think he's a decent dude.

I think he's got a mission in life.

He's doing the best that he knows how to do, which is what I think about most human beings.

I think most human beings are good people with flaws.

For the record, I have undoubtedly better relationships with many of the people who are Hasan's critics.

So, like, you know, I've had a chance to hang out with people like Asmund Gold.

I've been on his podcast.

We've collabed before.

People like XQC, we've had several conversations.

We'll sometimes hang out at streaming events.

People like Ludwig or whatever.

Like, I have a more positive relationship with them than I do with Hasan.

That's a disclaimer that I'm tossing out from the get-go.

about my biases, but I've got nothing against the dude.
