I saw some of his early installments. Interesting to say the least. While I agree with many of his individual points, I don't think I subscribe to his militant atheism (a common phenomenon in elite college campuses, especially engineering schools). Many people have an emotional attachment to "certainty"; if they are forcibly separated from a relatively benign/harmless "promise" of equality in after-life or on a spiritual level, the same people may well instead bind themselves to a far more virulent worship of naked state power. That is not to say I want to deliberately promote any "benign religion"; however, until the population is familiar and comfortable with "repeating prisoners' dilemma" (in which those join forces with the tyrant would inevitably be destroyed by the tyranny in the repeating game), the "single-instance prisoners' dilemma" may well seduce many into becoming part of the evil, like during the darkest period of Germany and soviet block in the 20th century.
