A lot of academia's problems are just Capitalism's perversion on display: incentivizing the wrong thing in every case. But it's also not in such bad shape as the anti-science grifters (e.g. Hossenfelder) like to pretend

I sometimes see videos of Hossenfelder on my feed and have watched a couple. Would you mind adding some context? What are "anti-science grifters"? Sry if i'm a bit out of the loop here.

Angela Collier on YT has some good videos about these. I think those videos talks about conspiracy and science crackpots.

Would that I had more than one upvote for Angela Collier. Her last video actually addresses the Sabine Hossenfelder issue directly. https://youtu.be/miJbW3i9qQc
