I feel like so many of his arguments ignore the simple fact that all living things, not just humans, are influenced by their environment regardless of level of society or time. The AI video on Twitter showing you "evidence" that 9/11 was cgi is no different than the town crier 800 years ago shouting about how the King single handedly "recovered" the village of savages at the edge of the kingdom. You have no less agency over the person who leads your country in 2025 than you would in an ancient tribe 10,000 years ago. If anything, you'd have more. It really is just the first reddit post. It makes points that sound smart and true until you realize that it's an argument that could fit any point in history.
