HBO's Chernobyl & Personal Responsibility

Hello lovely Patrons! Here's my latest episode, it's about society and responsibility for events like Chernobyl and the Grenfell Fire. This one has been very hard for a number of reasons, so I hope you enjoy it extra!

I'd like to say an extra special thank you to you all for supporting me on Patreon; this video has been demonetised and I was offered a big sponsor but turned it down - it's thanks to you that I can make stuff like this! <3

This video is the reason I decided to support you on Patreon. Keep it up, Comrade. And never stop taking the piss and being ever so British about it.

OLLY. I just watched this video with captions and noticed all the stuff you put into the end credits. It looks like you were self-conscious about this one, but it was honestly one of my all-time favorites! These are exactly the kinds of topics that most people have a vague understanding of but don’t explore all that often. Combine that with an excellent bit of modern media and you’ve got a winning combo.

Videos like this are EXACTLY why I support your work. Fantastic job! If folks are interested in contemporary Safety Science and its intersections with philosophical considerations, I recommend the work of Prof. Sidney Dekker. https://www.amazon.com/Drift-into-Failure-Components-Understanding/dp/1409422216

Haven't watched the series yet, but I'll understand a lot more when I do. Thanks

This tied in to a long discussion I was having with a friend of mine about our responsibilities in our local communities compared to larger communities. Thanks for giving me a lot to think about.

Thanks for talking about an amazing show and an interesting subject. Awesome as always

Hi i'm new here, been subscribed to the channel for about a year now... just wanted to say I always love the links you draw through in your vids (also this vid was hilarious as well as smart). As someone with a degree in civil engineering and also someone who turned out to know someone who lived in Grenfell (thankfully her and her family survived) that particular cost-saving choice of cladding truly makes my blood boil... also when i think about how much stuff doesn't get done because of white fragility it's tragic so thanks for giving that a mention. Anyway here's my 2 quid and thanks

the pluralisation of 'stephans molyneux' is my monthly patronage well-spent

Regarding intergenerational collective responsibility, I wonder how peoples' views would change if put in the context of something like being gifted stolen goods. In the US, you can be criminally liable for the possession if you knew what you received was stolen. If you did not know it was stolen, you are not criminally liable, but you still have to give back the stuff you had that turned out to be stolen. I would imagine the only people who would consistently argue against returning stolen goods are pawn shop owners and anyone who has bought art from a Nazi.

There is an interview with one of the last coal miners saying that even when the corium didn't get to the ground water he is still proud of what they did to stop the radiation,
