The debut video by a new educational YouTuber, I was impressed by the quality of the content and production.

From the description:

I discuss Claire Bishop’s theory on attention, automatism, AI, mid century modern Facebook Marketplace slop, address the hyperfication of media trends causing a reduction in itself, Franco Berardi, Italian Futurism, Herbert Read….. actually I’m going to stop listing things because basically I kind of talk about a lot.

From the description:

The kingdom of Palistin (also Walistin) appears in early Iron Age inscriptions from northern Syria, raising long-standing questions about its possible relationship to the Philistines of the southern Levant and the broader Sea Peoples phenomenon. Centered in the Amuq Valley with its capital at Tel Tayinat, Palistin is known from monumental Luwian inscriptions, Assyrian sources, and archaeological evidence spanning the 11th–9th centuries BCE.

Here we examine the political history of Palistin, from King Taita to its incorporation into the Assyrian Empire, and evaluates whether similarities in name reflect shared origins, later linguistic developments, or unrelated traditions. By comparing northern Syria with Philistine centers in the southern Levant, the discussion explores migration, material culture, and identity formation in the aftermath of the Late Bronze Age collapse.
