Jesus fucking lol and it is so funny considering she literally talks about Marx and the industrial revolution and dismisses it, like please which is it?
How can you be so fundamentally wrong holy shit, I was skeptical when the other thread compared her with Peterson or whatever but boy oh boy this is the worst way possible to double down.
Just how hard is it to just own it, say some obviously fake PR shit like "oh we learned a lesson from the feedback of our community and we will do better in the future" or "we understand we should have approached the topic with a little more rigor" or something.
I fully admit I was willing to let her take this L as a fluke, something something her "team"(maybe even herself) suggested a bad topic and the minions can't afford to tell her that was a bad idea or something, but no.
I can't wait for the triple down I guess. Even the replies are still roasting her lol.
Why would you ever take somebody who does a video on trans issues and views the Littman study about ROGD as a credible source seriously again? We've known since then that she is completely incapable of adressing criticism in good faith, she's the prototypical case of "i have a STEM degree, so i'm an expert on everything" bazinga brain. I know the type, and they all suck, they're all transphobes and they're all capitalist bootlickers. Comparisons to Peterson are entirely in order, give her a paycheck from Exxon and she'll outdo Furzgesagt on how we can innovate our way out of climate change. China's cultural revolution wouldn't go far enough if applied to our universities.
It's a German pun that changes Kurzgesagt's handle from "put shortly" to "said with a fart" (fart is Furz in German)
She addressed some inconsequential criticism in the "Do your own research" video
It's only true capitalism when it is from the Capitále municipality in Lombardy, otherwise it's just hard cheese feudalism.
you fail to consider that she genuinely doesn't know enough about socioeconomics and geopolitical history to understand that she's wrong. she's dunning-krugering this because her brain knows how to actually do string theory calculations.
I want to say it's not a case of a scientific person getting a subject they're not familiar with wrong. I watched some of her climate change vids months ago, and although factually there wasn't a ton wrong with it, the way it was presented was really off-putting.

And I realized that it's the format. She spends time describing some easy and commonly misunderstood ways that people think drive climate change, and spends a few minutes debunking them. At the very end of the video she gives a basic summary about stratospheric cooling and shares a famously misused graph from Manabe (but presents them "correctly"). The one she uses is

While a more updated one that very clearly shows in a simple manner the problem:

What bugs me is she's giving viewers all they need to debunk someone who's not familiar with the finer details. She supplies helpful reading material, but the video itself felt falsely presented. Ultimately it takes a complex issue and makes it worse somehow.
I hate that I still can't quite articulate why it rubs me the wrong way, but the graph really bugged me. If you did the research on Manabes original paper you had to have come across updated charts. If you really wanted to teach people, why would you use a pixelated black and white line graph to present info?
Anyways I decided she's
because something stunk. It was mostly bad vibes, but my guess was she was gathering a following of casual non specialized scientists and slipping in micro doses of bullshit reactionary brain worms and teaching chuds how to argue against casuals.Her, responsding to criticism that the way she depicted the advent of currency was ahistorical:
Show
"It was just a hypothetical, bro!!"
Imagine if we treated physics with the starting point of a hypothetical which was entirely incorrect and how she'd respond if someone was like "Ohhh, when I said 'Hooray, we just invented the theory of gravity!' I didn't mean to make a scientific statement... 👉👈😳"
Sabine, NO!
There does appear to be a problem with most academic youtubers that touch on politics. They place too much weight on their own thoughts.
turns out the funnel of individual meritocracy in academia produces ben carsons out of damn near anyone that sticks with it long enough to get tenure
Typical Kraut behavior, embarrassing.
I read this book once on WW1 propaganda in the US before 1917, when America was still neutral. The Brits would just do shameless atrocity propaganda, while the Germans would publish walls of text in US newspapers arguing and justifying everything in a super pedantic way. Guess which worked better on Americans.
Nobody is more condescending than those fully under the sway of Dunning-Kruger.
I wish she stops speaking on this and goes ahead with physics vids ! 😾
I read this comment as "Capitalism isn't deregulation". I agree the video isn't great, but this intepretation seems the wrong way around.
Yeah I kind of posted this after reading some of that comment thread so my interpretation is a bit biased towards that fact, It is tough because she is all over the place but the gist of her thought is she thinks we believe Capitalism equals deregulation equals all the bad things(and that is why we dislike the video) but she doesn't understand that the free market by definition and as defended by libertarians is opposite to regulations.
So the only one thinking regulations/de-regulation equals capitalism is herself, in reality neither are central parts of the definition of capitalism, let alone a qualifier of good or bad by itself(as we know capitalists want less not more). And the entire video and her comments there are total nonsense.
She fundamentally does the same thing, trying to mislead the viewer into believing money and trading are central concepts of capitalism instead of shit we've done for thousands for years before it.
Fair enough, but yep, very much all agreed. Her justification at tihs stage seems to be "oh, these people must just hate capitalism because deregulation exists", no attempt to understand the problems. Very frustrating.
