Reminds me of Sabine Hossfelder, a physicist, who had made some similar experiences.
https://youtu.be/LKiBlGDfRU8
Proof that educated people can still be immensely stupid and be utter human trash.
It's sad that she decided to channel her experience into transphobia, as if punching down will somehow make up for all the punches she got.
clearly you don't understand physics.
edit: oh no, soft science people downvoting me because they don't understand conservation of energy. shocking.
Really? That's news to me.
She also made a video extolling the virtues of capitalism and how science wouldn't have progressed without it, but then oddly went on to make videos about why she had to leave academia because of profit motive forcing her to research things that didn't matter but got grant funding to keep her alive, without making the connection that the profit motive that destroyed her dream is due to capitalism.
Not to mention, she's fueling anti-science perspectives.
Also, she's very ableist in that she is against autistic people
Ironically - still successfully highlighting how smart people can be assholes.
