I watch a lot of science channels and videos on YouTube, there's just so much extraordinary content out there, going deep into the math and formulas of cosmology and physics.
Sooner rather than later, the algorithm started pushing this woman's videos on my homescreen. She most definitely leans towards the clickbait titles and bombastic controversy, two things that I hate, so it was again time to take out the digital machete and hack away at the algorithm, as I do nearly every day. But then she just keeps on popping up in other people's videos and podcasts, some trustworthy content creators seem to have a high regard for her academic work.
But just like assholes like James Woods or Joe Rogan have made themselves unbearable for me, even retroactively, just their presence and voice take me out of whatever I'm watching, put me in a bad mood, so too it is with Hossenfelder. In an age of the digital smorgasbord, a never-ending stream of science and math educational content of a high level and mind-blowing quality, I can survive and thrive just fine while avoiding the assholes.
