Interesting analysis from my favorite severe no nonsense physics youtuber gal (who also used to randomly post vids of her doing cover songs to peoples' general confusion lol).
Good bit at the end speculating on the material economic basis for this (useless) way of doing science. People make careers on this fluff that amounts to nothing.
lmao of course the guy who "debunked marxism" has also infected other areas of academia with his brainworms
Karl Popper: "weird how this straw man is so flammable! it must be because of my genius"
Popper: Everything didn't turn out exactly as Marx thought it would. He isn't literally nostradamus. Europe did not lead a global revolution. Marxism finished! Unexpected changes in material conditions are impossible. What do you mean you can have two different possible outcomes from the same starting point?
Who did more damage, Popper or :pinker: ?
Popper I think. Anticommunists think they're doing real brain genius philosophy(tm) instead of just asinine sophistry when they cite him (by which I mean a 60 second video they watched on youtube) in lieu of reading literally any communist literature.

It's particularly annoying since Popper's epistemology comes accross as deeply lacking even compared to Logical Empiricism.
