I don’t know how, but the past years I been watching Tom Scott ofcourse, Atomic Shrimp, Techmoan, The Linux Experiment and goes on.
The big question is which European creators do you watch?
It can be English or on it’s own native language.
For example I follow Techprincess - Fjona Cakalli, an Italian tech reviewer. I don’t understand Italian, but I watch her videos from time to time.
My small list so far:
Atomic Shrimp
Techmoan
Tom Scott
The Linux Experiment
Telekom Electronic Beats TV(electronic music interviews and blind music tests)
Tifo Football by The Athletic(which may not be anymore, part of NYT right?)
her way of talking down to her colleagues and countering legitimate science with crackpot theories definitely isn’t part of the scientific method. check out angela collier’s video on “conspiracy physics”, she breaks down sabine’s behavior in detail.
Hmmh. Maybe you’re right and I shouldn’t recommend her videos to a general audience… I feel there’s also some kind of cultural(?) difference buried here?! I like science, I listen to a bunch of other podcasts, mostly long-form content though. I think at the end of the day science is not about identity or belief, or even manners. It’s a method to build a model of reality, and concerned with factual truth… And I’m able to laugh about string theory not really being part of it unless they come up with a way to test it. Though, Angela Collier’s critizism how physics hasn’t done anything in 50 years isn’t what I (personally) got from the videos at all… But if some other people do… That’s very unfortunate. And I see how people make things like that part of their identity. I think it’s way more pronounced in places like the US. Less so where I live… So maybe I am a bit oblivious to the fact.
i’m european and i find it hard to take anything other from her quotes, unfortunately. doesn’t help that she’s supportive of lawrence krauss’ anti-dei tirades.
Yeah, leaving aside her science content, which I have a series of misgivings and concerns about, she’s just a distasteful, mean person who takes a side I don’t want to be even slightly associated with.
