I haven't watched Sabine in ages. She has always been fringe... Often cringe.

Science is sick. At least in America.... Academia is dying. The amount of people that use AI to cheat is ridiculous. Brain rot was literally word of the year...

People are getting stupider regardless of the subject matter. I think Korn wrote a song about that and how long ago was that?

Coca-cola has notoriously spent buh-buh-buh-BILLIONS on nutritional research. They throw away the research that doesn't suit the science that they WANT to be true and promote the research that tends to support it. An example of a disproved hypothesis that has been accepted due to their meddling is "calories in, calories out."

Big bang theory. Hell, probably most of cosmology. It's all a bunch of bullshit. Our main theory was the brain fart of a Catholic priest and that's now considered the "secular theory." You can't make this stuff up.... Oh wait you can. From cosmic inflation to dark matter and dark energy it's all bullshit I'm pretty sure.

Saturated fats bad. Dietary cholesterol bad. Eggs bad. Dairy bad. Red meat bad. And on and on ad nauseam. Nutritional science is all fucking bullshit pretty much, especially when people love to reduce (too absurdity) it to like is that one thing you got to do or the one thing you can't do. People worried about salt when most animals will do things that could easily kill them just to get a little lick of salt.

Importance of breakfast? Whatever. Any meal you eat is breaking your fast. There's no benefit to eating immediately after waking up.

How about the eight glasses of water a day that's a bunch of bullshit.

And considering how much science is epidemiological and it's just associations and no proof of causation but most people will lean on the causation anyway even if it's reverse causation, right.

How about the serotonin deficiency cause of depression?

Does moderate alcohol consumption have any benefits whatsoever?

Are psychiatric diagnosis useful?

Just how important is the microbiome?

Using animal models in place of human models.

How about the replication crisis? How about that about half of all scientific articles are bullshit and many of them get it retracted?

How about the many interpretations of quantum mechanics? Which ones right which are wrong?

So you've never heard of a replication crisis. Cool

And I guess you don't realize that a lot of "science" is statistical association only, with no clear causal factors whatsoever. So you can't test many hypothesis... Without setting up extensive RCTs... Which... Cost a lot of money and are filled with pitfalls.

And then when new science does come out that shows the consensus has been wrong for decades most people miss the news and they continue to think the wrong thing for a few more decades until they die. And you skipped out on cheese and eggs and (unprocessed) red meat and whole fat dairy for fucking nothing.

But that whole time you were chugging down them sodas and you're eating all kinds of food that were fat free but full of added sugars. It turns out big sugar paid off Harvard to ignore the evidence against sugar, and to just blame it all on fat.

There was also a series of videos at his own new house where he's getting the LMG employees to work on things for him at his house.

The power dynamic felt super off like he's rubbing his wealth in their (and our) faces. I'm not mad that he built a business, is doing well and got a nice house with his family. I would have been happy for his success, but the whole vibe of making that into content made it feel uncomfortable to watch. It felt more like he wanted to show off than it being about the tech.

That, and the way he reacted to various scandals including the one you mentioned was extremely poor and his disingenuous reviews, I had to drop them, the list just kept growing.

It's a shame because I liked a lot of the content and I really like Riley, James and the other staff as presenters but my heart sinks any time Linus' face appears again in my feed.

dint alot of people who recently left linus, started complaining too, or shared thier experiences.
