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.
She's also a currently working physicist and once worked in particle physicis. This is more of an appeal to spend money better, not stop spending it at all and regressing.
