    Here are some that I like on YT

    PBS Space Time

    PBS Eons

    Fermilab

    Anton Petrov

    Fraser Cain

    Sabine Hossenfelder (good, but often goes against mainstream science with mixed results)

        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 political views hard

        I jumped ship when she started talking about philosophy because I had already went through that rigmarole with GradeA and wasn’t at all surprised to find out she’s been doing right-wing propaganda since I left.

          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.
