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.
it blows my mind that these physicists can sit there and grind on it, knowing that either they're too underfunded to see anything or too outside of any good ideas. like, i am literally incapable of working under those conditions, it's so meaningless.
