The Impact of Evelyn Miller's Writings on Dutch's Philosophy 

See. Uncle was right all along. Reading poisons the mind.

Evelyn Miller = real main antagonist of the entire RDR series confirmed

I think, going back to when he mentioned RDR3, that you could only do RDR3 one of three ways. One you move away from the van der linde gang entirely (my least liked idea) two go back to the very beginning of the gang, before John and Arthur so probably going back to the 1860’s or early 1870’s and play as Hosea or Dutch (because I assume they started the gang together) and the game ends when they first recruit John or Arthur into the gang (whoever joined last, probably John?) or option three you go back to the late 1880’s or early 1890’s and play through the middle years of the gang as Dutch while they were in they’re prime and the game ends with us playing (and finally seeing) the blackwater massacre. This option is what I personally think will end up happening. I think after two games of hearing about the massacre it only makes sense for us to play it through in the next game. The only other thing I could think they would do is have the game end after some kind of event, a heist maybe or maybe “the fire” Arthur mentions in his journal, with someone (probably micha) mentioning a big boat loaded with cash coming into blackwater, so we don’t actually get to see the heist. But that’s just my opinion on what I think are the only logical choice’s and obviously I’d love to see either option 2 or 3 for RDR3

The quote from Dutch when Milton comes into the camp is one of my favourite in the game, it always came off as very intelligent and insightful, a little too much for Dutch, when I found out he pulled the quote from Evelyn Miller it genuinely changed the way I think about Dutch

Nice. Detailed. Well pieced together and argued. All you could ask for!

Detailed as always. Top video

Awesome video as usual

I wouldn't mind a prequel of the prequel

i really love this channel and red dead videos you make

9:34 Something interesting to consider as far as literacy rates go in America. The literacy rates of America were thought to have fallen dramatically from the Civil War era until 1900. During the Civil War, it's estimated about 8 out of 10 Confederate soldiers could read and/or write and about 9 out of 10 Union soldiers could read and/or write (source: Ian Delahanty, "Soldiers' Diaries and Letters"). And this pans out with the surviving amount of written correspondence and personal writings we have from both sides of the conflict. And the majority of these weren't from educated officers, but rank and file soldiers. It's actually a shockingly high literacy rate. By 1900, however, it had fallen to an estimated ~11% literacy rate. The difference is that more and more women were becoming literate. Things that helped contribute to the lower literacy rate was drastically increased immigration, the aftermath of the war itself and basically losing a generation and much of the South needing to be rebuilt, expansion west and populations driving out to more rural areas, economic hardships, lack of institutions/infrastructure, etc. So someone slightly older like Arthur, Hosea, Dutch, etc. being educated is more of something to be suspected than not. Whereas virtually any kid in 1900 you came across, especially in the rural areas, would be working and likely not getting much of an education. It's vastly... vastly... understated in historical education how disastrous and how much of a setback the Civil War was to America. It easily set back American progress by 20-30 years. Easily.

Love ur vids please drop red vested outfit

Do you have a video that is like what if Lenny survived the bank robbery?

Epic

W video, once again.

It’s no wonder to me that Dutch worshipped Evelyn Miller. Both men had a habit of vomiting up absolute word salads all the time. Never trust someone who talks all the damn time while never actually saying anything.

Evelyn Miller is based on Ralph Waldo Emerson and his Transcendentalism movement.

Dutch reminds of people who use religion to justify their sins. Evelyn Miller is a guy driving himself crazy to reach his peak in creativity. Dutch is drawn to his writing because Evelyn writing fits his world view and to miller it means nothing but to dutch it means everything and he could use it to get people on his side
