PBS Space Time PBS Eons Fermilab Anton Petrov Fraser Cain Sabine Hossenfelder (good, but often goes against mainstream science with mixed results)

I can’t speak to Sabine’s physics content but her social science oriented content is awful:
The capitalism video: short response, long react
The trans video: short response, long react
The neurodivergence video: very long response

Honestly I’m convinced at this point she’s a propagandist. She’s following all the same beats as one. 1) start with apolitical (usually science) content to build credibility 2) start to transition into slightly more political topics to test the waters 3) Start pushing your views hard

At first I wanted to dismiss your worry and just call her dumb, but you may be right. I’m still not entirely sold on that, I think she can just be out of her depth, but what you’re saying would make for a very nice pivot to political grifting. What makes me skeptical of that is her old trans video, about sport. Though, now that I think about it, it used the exact same “both sides” and “insufficient data” arguments the new video abused.
I actually also wanted to link a video about free will and a livestream react but I couldn’t find a good one. Was that the one that made you quit?

It wasn’t one particular video it was just me picking up on the trend and wanting to get off before they started dropping the payload.
