Trailer: What is Second Opinion?
The Second Opinion
This isn't about hot takes or dunking on people who are wrong. It's about slowing down long enough to ask: what's actually being claimed, who benefits if you believe it, and what would the evidence look like if the claim were false?
If that sounds useful to you, this channel might be worth your time. If you're looking for someone to validate what you already believe, this probably isn't it.
TL;DW
- Second Opinion is analysis, not opinion journalism
- The name comes from the medical practice of seeking independent verification
- Every episode follows a consistent method: claim, incentives, evidence, pressure test, translation
- The goal is to help you think more clearly, not to tell you what to think
Plain-language translation
Most of what you see online is designed to make you feel something—outraged, validated, scared, superior. That's profitable for platforms and useful for people with agendas.
This channel is designed to make you think more carefully. That's not as exciting, but it's more useful if you actually have to make decisions based on what's true.
I'm not neutral—nobody is—but I try to be transparent about my reasoning so you can disagree with me intelligently instead of just reacting.
