    Who died and made this goofball the official spokesperson for science and astronomy? It’s getting annoying seeing his face on my YouTube feed all the time. Along with that other dude, Michio Kaku.

    In case y’all got the wrong idea, they’re still cool guys, and fuck Elon. It’s just that I’m past the teenage stoner documentaries of people being “deep” when explaining the science. That’s who Dr. Tyson seems to appeal to.

    For some no-nonsense, no fluff science content, I’d recommend Sabine Hossenfelder and the PBS Spacetime series.

      I really love our German equivalents: Harald Lesch and the show TerraX. Had the privilege of seeing him live in a guest lecture in my uni about the anthropocene. He feels so much more genuine and less arrogant than Neil DeGrasse Tyson. If you know German and don’t know him, check him out. Both on TerraX and his YouTube presence. There are even some full lectures on there, similar to the one I saw life.

      PBS Spacetime is one of those golden nuggets of a shitpile thats youtube.

      Youtube keeps pushing Sabine, but I don’t agree with her on many things relating to quantium stuff. But yeah, you definitely won’t find any new age quantium mystic crap on her channel.
