The Problem With Sabine Hossenfelder

Sabine has moved well into the deep-end and has all sorts of bizarre anti-science content at this point. I had been getting more and more uncomfortable with some of her videos and couldn't really put it into words until one of the guys who blew up debunking flat earther stuff, professor dave, put out a few videos on what she's been doing. [VIDEO] [LINK] [LINK] She's youtuber who is happy to take whatever position she thinks will get her the most views and ad revenue, all while crying woe is me about how the scientific establishment shuns her.

I can't find the subthread, oddly. Really oddly... They linked out to this Professor Dave @ [VIDEO] IIRC. (1M views!) He's got a couple more on it. Note I'd never say she was a fraud but I also don't know what to do with someone who has grown into being Not Even Wrong regularly. This might be the only way, fire with fire, but it makes me squeamish.

did she? or is she simply preaching to a certain choir that's awash with the heavy anti-establishment and anti-intellectual sentiment of nowadays? [LINK] [VIDEO] ... that said, of course there's some valid criticism of science funding underneath, and (the whole role, purpose, and status of) the academic sphere (with its traditions and privileges) which largely determines the outcome of how grant organizations end doing funding decisions.
