Sabine Chudettefelder says Academia sucks and most of their research is useless :marseyscientist: :sciencejak:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=LKiBlGDfRU8

So here's the link to her video. Basically she says became a physicist back in the 90s filled with idealism, says she's against female only scholarships as she got one and :marseypikachu2: her colleagues doubted her suitability due to that. Then she talks about how most of her job (and that of academic physicists in general) is limited to writing useless papers or using PhD and post Doc students to write said papers with your name in order to get more grants while being dissuaded from doing research in the fields you're interested at.

The reddit threads :#soysnoo2:

She's already done some sketchy vids in hot topics beyond her expertise.

Her vids about Trans people for example, in which she speaks about ROGD as though it's a real medical phenomenon.

TERFdom is a massive canary in the coalmine for influencers/commentators

At this point it's a great litmus test of guru-dom, whether or not they have an strong opinion on trans issues. It's like a pound shop version of the gurometer.

:#marseytransattentionseeker:

I predict that in the future she will 1.Talk worse about academia and academics 2.Talk more about american politics (fox news stuff) 3.At some point she will start simping for some capitalist

:#marseypearlclutch: :#soycry:

Sabine rapidly descending down the grifter pipeline

:#marseyagreefast:

As long as she's talking about real science and doing it accurately, how is she a grifter? Because she accepts money from sponsors?

Aye, this one not so much! More the ones where she talks about… capitalism? And other topics she doesn't have expertise in

Yeah the capitalism video was quite stupid

:#soyreddit: :#marseycomradecry:

!anticommunists !neolibs

Bonus on her capitalism video

For anyone wondering who she is:

Hossenfelder remained in Germany until 2004 as a postdoctoral researcher at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. She was subsequently employed as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Arizona, Tucson, University of California, Santa Barbara, and later at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Canada. In 2009, she became an assistant professor at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden. Between 2015 and 2023, she was employed at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, followed by a post at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich's Center for Mathematical Philosophy.

This is who wokies think isn't qualified to talk about capitalism

Tbf, its not that farfetched to be a top notch physicist and know nothing about economics and sociology.

Yeah but (with the exception of contra) breadtube is people with no expertise opining on topics they have no experience in

I never said breadtubers knew anything about anything. The only thing theyre good for is getting converted to biofuel.

Yes? STEM neurodivergents, ESPECIALLY physicists are not qualified to talk about ANYthing except their very very narrow field of expertise. Wake up to the STEM menace!!

Maybe I should've emphasised the breadtube part more. This is a community of college dropouts who've positioned themselves as authorities on every tenet of our economy/society....... Sabine says something they don't like and suddenly they're very concerned about credentials and official expertise. It's farcical. As an isolated statement what you're saying makes sense, but coming from them it's a punchline.

You would have a point if she wasn't a STEMlord they cannot be trusted it is better to be a social science dropout than a physicist.

Dumb it down even more because I don't even know what you're talking about or who this person is.

Like one sentence, a dozen words max. Please and thank you.

She's a random physicist who realized it's much easier to get clout with "everyone else is wrong about everything" contrarianism than making it in academia.

i don't think she's a contrarian. i like her videos a lot, she never sneers or gets smug, she's willing to evaluate new ideas with an open mind and doesn't seem to be afraid of getting ridiculed for it...but a lot of the time she decides the new ideas don't have a lot of evidence for them anyway.
