I'm serious. Apparently my brother hasn't gotten the memo yet.

Indeed. I vaguely remember her having some interesting content on science awhile ago but it sounds like she really fell off. Do you watch other stuff by that Professor Dave? He does a lot of interesting debunking content.

I didn't watch all of this because I could hardly follow - that guy is talking fast, and English is not my native language - and I know too little about the case to say anything, but if the allegations are true, it is a serious matter. What I know of Mrs. Hossenfelder is that she is very controversial within the scientific community because of her stance toward science (she rejects the notion that it is a good thing for a scientific theory to be simple and elegant), but I so far hadn't heard of racism accusations against her.

I mainly used his content to refresh my Latin:

Comments say people have used him to learn chemistry and whatnot.

You can increase or decrease playback speed. (I watch all videos at 1.7x speed these days.)

How much longer before she starts complaining about all those Jewish scientists corrupting Deutsche Physik?

Probably not in the foreseeable future. Israel is a consumer of American military and intelligence products.

Doesn't stop a whole lot of right-wing Americans from pulling that kind of shit.

They're not spokespersons aligned with Peter Thiel and his crony Alex Karp, the latter being a purveyor of such an intelligence product.
A lot of fascists also think fascism will save them from outcomes that are in fact caused by capitalism.

How interesting, I also intended to post about her in the forum.

She supports and defends the main accuser against Arday who calls himself a "race realist" and I believe from the Dave video she hints at supporting the validity of race as a biological reality rather than a social construct.

She also doesn't accept that gender is "real" and does not support transitioning, even though the scientific evidence shows that whether "gender" is real or not, transition is the best way to relieve gender dysphoria. I think that came out before all the race stuff so as a trans person myself I have not followed up on the subject since and am really not surprised.

People who deny the reality of gender are denying research that has shown that gender is influenced by the prenatal hormonal environment similar to how sexual orientation is but at a different stage in the developmental process. Given Sabine Hossenfelder's views on science, that she would deny science like this is not surprising.
