How To Know If War Is Justified (In The Long Run)

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

War is a part of human history. Many argue it’s part of human nature. It has led to atrocities, destruction, and incalculable suffering. But it has also pushed humanity forward in ways we can’t grasp without the benefit of hindsight. So, in this video, I explore a critical question.

When is war justified?

It’s a complex question with complicated answers. And since this is such a sensitive topic, I minimized the use of stock video and references to ongoing conflicts. The footage of me playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert is from my Twitch stream. Enjoy!

Why The Internet Was NOT A Mistake

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In these cynical days, it’s become common for people to claim the internet was a mistake. It’s blamed for all the worst parts of our current state of affairs. It makes us hate each other. It locks us into our screens. And it brings out our worst selves.

I call bullshit on all of it. The internet was NOT a mistake. And in this video, I explain why.

What Makes Absolute Joker Absolutely Terrifying

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

The Joker has always been so much more than Batman’s arch-nemesis. He’s one of those special villains who is blunt, distinct, and chaotic. He has a presence that’s as unique as his elaborate plans. And while there have been many versions of the Joker over the years, one in particular stands out more than most.

In DC’s Absolute Universe, the dynamics are inverted. The rules are different. In addition to giving us distinct versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, this world has given us a version of the Joker that is truly terrifying in a wholly relevant way. And given the current state of our world, it’s worth highlighting. Enjoy!

I’ve Accepted That I Will Never Get Married (For Now)

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I get personal and reflect on my past and present, in terms of relationships. While I have gone on dates and I’ve even had a girlfriend before, I am single as of the making of this video. And given my current circumstances, I’ve fully accepted that I may never get married.

But that doesn’t have to be sad or tragic. I’m old enough to understand who I am and what I seek in a partner. That may still change. But for now, I’m fine with being alone. And I hope this video offers perspective to those in a similar situation.

Why Bob’s Burgers Works And The Great North Didn’t

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

Bob’s Burgers and The Great North are shows with similar aesthetics, themes, and tone. Both channel a mix of eccentric characters and genuine wholesomeness to offer something uniquely endearing.

However, The Great North ultimately failed and was cancelled. But Bob’s Burgers, it’s spiritual predecessor, continues to thrive.

Why is that? Where did The Great North fall short? I attempt to answer those questions in this video. Enjoy!

Jean Grey – A Case Study On How To Write An Overpowered Character

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

Jean Grey is one of the most overpowered characters in Marvel’s pantheon. She regularly carries out cosmic level feats and goes up against god-like beings.

And yet, she’s one the most endearingly human characters in all of superhero comics.

In a genre full of overpowered characters, Jean Grey stands out for all the right reasons. And in this video, I explore what makes her work so well. Enjoy!

The Worst Solution To The Fermi Paradox: The Aliens Hate Us

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

For decades, the Fermi Paradox has confounded scientists and sci-fi fans alike. If the universe is so big and teaming with intelligent life, then where are all the aliens? Many possible solutions have been proposed. But here’s one I’d like to explore.

Aliens exist. And they HATE us.
