Sure, I wouldn't say I have any distrust in him, honestly I don't fully trust anyone but God, lol. But he looks to be marketing substack more or less and is more of a bit of a blogger rather than a dot connector. This is why, even though Dave gets me with his quirks sometimes, he tries to introduce his ideas as theory and open ended. Bio feels like he's making predictions on things and sometimes it goes a little out of the range of logical sense (like how Flynn presents himself sometimes). He gives that "arbiter of truth" vibe, though I may be taking it wrong. I just see a lot of that style recently in alternative reporting. I still read his work because I appreciate any contributions to helping people think more, he's just not a go to person for me. That may change later, and there is a lot i agree with him on, just not so much the presentation. I don't think any of it is "hopium" that he writes I guess, because that's the flaw of the reader than the author. You don't have to believe anything he says if you don't want to, lol.
