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.

      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?
