I don’t even want to watch that video because I know I’m going to get annoyed by it. Veritasium’s video on self-driving cars was so awful, it was enough for me to just sort them into the Sketchy Pop-Sci YouTube Channels bucket for good. I’ve heard that their videos on electricity and that one physics bet were also pretty shaky.
I thought he did a good job. Most of the commentary I’ve seen in the last 20 years has been saying its garbage science (culturally biased, etc), but Veritasium tried to argue towards moderation. i.e., it does have its place and it does have its faults.
@Custoslibera@pja You also have MrBeast, YouTube’s most subscribed “content creator”, giving his girlfriend an IQ test on their first date. What is it with our institutions promoting the most sociopathic amongst us?
It was disappointing to see Veritasium not applying much critical analysis to IQ testing in his video.
He really should of downplayed it’s significance more.
