That could be a case of what I decades ago characterized as "the moderate critic being moved to the extreme by the over-reaction of the entrenched."Sabine has chosen to use her platform to get rage clicks from anti-science people and has repeatedly encourage their viewership and make her money. Videos that are used by anti-science people to say "angry science lady says scientists are evil/greedy/whatever" (it's already in this thread). In other videos (and I didn't spot it in this one) she goes from "particle physics is a waste to academic science is corrupt and wasteful in the same sentence. After reading the letter she spends the rest of her time (before the ad) libeling groups people and attacking two HEP experiments/facilities (DUNE and EIC), calling them make-work projects pursing made up problems. She's capable of reading the science cases for both and understanding them. The old Sabine would be explaining what could be discovered and what questions will be addressed even if she thought one of the public facing reasons was hype.
She knows how her videos will be used and she doesn't care or worse, she likes it.
Out of interest, have you ever tried to justify research into the unknown?That could be a case of what I decades ago characterized as "the moderate critic being moved to the extreme by the over-reaction of the entrenched."
I've been listening to her videos for a while now, and there certainly does appear to be a problem she's bringing to the forefront. You can ignore the problem because you don't like her or you can listen to see if there isn't a point to what she's saying.
Oh, that was you that said that.That could be a case of what I decades ago characterized as "the moderate critic being moved to the extreme by the over-reaction of the entrenched."
I'm not ignoring the problem. I'm noting it.I've been listening to her videos for a while now, and there certainly does appear to be a problem she's bringing to the forefront. You can ignore the problem because you don't like her or you can listen to see if there isn't a point to what she's saying.
How can you do this to us. I was just recovering from watching it when it was new. To even be reminded that it existed. Sheesh.Maybe Sabine should consider a career change like singing.
I don't think that someone on youtube needs to abide by CF guidelines.I never thought that I'd see a Sabine Hossenfelder video that would violate the CF Guidelines, but today's YT! video certainly does that in spades. So without linking it directly I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts on it are.
Sabine crossed the line in attacking mathematics. One should see her true colours in using music as an element of torture.How can you do this to us. I was just recovering from watching it when it was new. To even be reminded that it existed. Sheesh
With awful people it is frequently the case that different aspects of their awfulness will make different people aware of their overall awfulness.Sabine crossed the line in attacking mathematics. One should see her true colours in using music as an element of torture.
As an aside:With awful people it is frequently the case that different aspects of their awfulness will make different people aware of their overall awfulness.
On the subject of awful here is another sample from Sabine's greatest hits collection.With awful people it is frequently the case that different aspects of their awfulness will make different people aware of their overall awfulness.
Backpedalling Sabine!FWIW, today's Sabine Hossenfelder video.
I think the thumbnail tells me all I need to know. So much for the "science communicator".FWIW, today's Sabine Hossenfelder video.
Aaaaargh - I clicked - why did I click?On the subject of awful here is another sample from Sabine's greatest hits collection.
(I wonder what Monty Python would have to say about this).
This one is weird, in the first half of the video Sabine looks as it she is auditioning for a part in the Walking Dead, the music then stops and rest of the video becomes a more serious attempt to explain light.Aaaaargh - I clicked - why did I click?
It's like someone trying to sing a cutesy Disney Princess song - but baaaaaaaadly - and with a hint of old empires about it!
You made me go watch Princess Fiona hit her top note for a palate cleanser!
No - I'm not doing it! I've still got Princess Fiona loaded as my ear worm - anything but Sabine!This one is weird, in the first half of the video Sabine looks as it she is auditioning for a part in the Walking Dead, the music then stops and rest of the video becomes a more serious attempt to explain light.
I made the mistake of watching one of her "songs" at the end of one of her videos a while back. I won't make that mistake again.No - I'm not doing it! I've still got Princess Fiona loaded as my ear worm - anything but Sabine!
