Comment on Sabine Hossenfelder Has Started Openly Defending Proven Grifters

Sabine is a very bright and well-informed lady. I enjoy listening to her trash the well-paid real grifters. They’ve started attacking back? That figures. It’s hard hearing that you’ve been under-performing for decades.

She doesn’t just talk about String Theory, she acts as an authoritative figure on everything. And I could hardly say that Professor Dave is a grifter.

Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn’t make unhinged statements like “I don’t trust scientists” and “Most of academic research that your taxes pay for is almost certainly bullshit” though, at least as far as I know.

True that about him. (Altho he has confidently misstated the facts a few times.) Sabine definitely has her on days and off days. Maybe I missed her saying exactly those two things you put quotes around. As for the productivity of Big Science, I think she’s right to suggest that it has not delivered the way that it once did, and right about how it has lost its way. (HYUGE topic for this little container.)
