I often feel the way Sabine looks and sounds in this video.
It is actually uncanny how many topics Sabine touches upon in such an unreserved and brilliant way.
She is a model for modern intellectual thought. I hope she is protected and preserved from the easily upset mob of conventionalists who rather we were all agreeable.
she really isn't, though. her papers are mediocre, so she compensates by pandering to conspiracy theorists and transphobes.
edit: to be clear, my intention here is not to engage in ad hominem. instead I am saying that augmenting unimpressive research with social media is not a good model for the modern intellectual
I find quite refreshing to see her examine the evidence sceptically and rationally instead of just assuming whatever the current trend is true and working backwards to cherry pick evidence to fit it, as many popular science communicators do.
Could you cite examples of these claims? For the purpose of distinguishing good role models. I’m not an academic, though the topics I have followed have been informative and interesting.
I used to appreciate her. Until I realised she just always takes the contrarian view and expresses it in a needlessly undiplomatic and cynical way.
