my playlists (by alfred macdonald)
I have included my name here so that if you forget where this is you can search my name + playlists into google.
anyway, I’ve made a lot of playlists over the years and they’ve helped a ton of people and annoyed others. here mostly all of the good ones.

====== PLAYLISTS OF VARIOUS KINDS ======
(the reason everything is prefixed with “alfred -” is because youtube is very bad for searching playlists and my name starts with A, putting it in an alphabetically findable position)
social analysis stuff (this is hard to describe, but each video conveys some social principle or has some dynamic worth explicating/analyzing/etc) — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzsu0idXSbRdJt0OL3bmQRWtidN94tu0a
lying and honesty — https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzsu0idXSbRcawZb3ULdyAH0enes_iRay
(research into dishonesty is a nearly-quite-literal obsession of mine and I would research it full time if I could, I’m highly welcome to suggestions for new content.)
