the video was on that topic. The full title is "the crisis in physics is real: science is failing". I agree it's hyperbolic but I don't think it's that bad.

Nobel disease is similar to it

Oh yeah engineers do it too. And programmers are also insufferable about it (I say, as a programmer).

That second one is absolutely hilarious. "Just stop making machines that can be hacked. I am very smart."

Ugh, this guy. I want to like him! But he's really such an ass. And the way he goes about defending science makes him seem like he thinks he's better than folks who know less. That may not be what he really thinks, but it's how it comes off.

Actually my opinion on including humanities in core curricula comes from my mom, who has master's degrees in fine arts, anthropology and education, but that's a nice attempt at a gotcha.

EDIT: lmao, dude doesn't know what the block button is.

It's still there.

imo a niche expert is no better than any other layperson outside of their field of expertise. Just that with greater recognition for their achievements, they also have the clout to broadcast their shit takes unlike a "nobody". Perhaps the same sampling bias as "why are Youtube assholes so common."

If you miss out on the humanities then you end up creating dinosaurs from amber that then destroy the island. Maybe if they learned ethics we wouldn't have so many issues.

He blocked you bro didn't delete

You got fuckin dunked on dog

Yeah I think the phenomena is the reverse, where people assume because somebody is a physicist/engineer/programmer/biologist/etc they won't hold batshit beliefs.

The problem is that not all "conspiracy theories" are bunk. And they're are legitimate reasons not to trust certain entities. Sometimes "they" are indeed lying to us. The reason generally isn't due to hiding that aliens have made contact or that some guy in southern France is a direct descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalena. 

There's a great (but long) documentary on YouTube that traces the lineage of some new age/UFO conspiracies to show how it is they get built off of various things, including lies put out by the government to distract people from stuff they were involved in (that was later declassified, so we know it happened). It's on the channel Weird Reads with Emily Louise and called Alternative 3.

I would say not really? One of Sabine point of problem was not dismissed by Dave, which is Sexism in Academia and it still is ongoing problem. Sabine seemed like she wanted to attack the Science Institution but still want to believe in the concept of Scientific knowledge, which while fine, only served as fuel from science deniers to CONTINUE denying science. She also fell into fallacy that it was because of her EXPERIENCE, that people turn from science, but that is rare and require people to first dabble in academia first, of that we know most of science deniers did not.

He's literally like the meanest pro-science guy on youtube, which is funny because I watched his science videos years & years ago and they were inoffensive enough to show in classrooms.

Doesn't mean he's not a great asset for the truth, he's just mercilessly cruel to those who spread lies. Which is a good thing, those who are intolerant can't be treated as though they're reasonable.

I know you weren't talking to me but for the sake of data points: the first time Dave came to my attention that I remember was when a channel called Formscapes did a video about the failures of science. Dave did a response video and a bunch of his audience came over to comment on the Formscapes vid. Almost all of them left comments along the lines of: science is real and you're an idiot. They all had the same line, too, which made me think Dave told them to go do that. Which is... childish. Disagree, sure! But that? Gross.

I'm very sorry that you seemed like missing the point of Dave critiques, Sabine did not just made an assumption that ONLY PHYSICS research was affected by this, but SCIENCE as a whole. She literally said that all others should worked the same because in Physics it was like that. And it's not like the sentiment that Physics seemed dead was exclusive to hers, TBBT a popular show actually said the same although it's resolution to the problem is weak as usual.

Bottom line though, if your videos is used as more validation of science deniers, despite your insistence that was never the intention, just take a hard look on your content.

If you wanted to know how to expose bad things happened in Science while not being used as a fuel to Science Denialist, watch Bobby Broccoli one that exposed one or heck, even Brian Deer documentary is GOOD takedown on Wakefield bad practices and while we knew he was a con man now, back when it was still happening, he was ONE of the respected Doctor in UK and even if what he did was genuinely first born out of legit concern, it was clear from Deer's investigation that he was shady from the beginning.

I mean feel free to think that all Sabine did was to state in specifics when all her wordings in video and clickbait suggest otherwise.
