        No idea, I didn’t see this one

        However I remember her making a whole video about being skeptical of nuclear fusion, which made sense for me at the time except now we’re seeing so much progress in that field I’m wondering if she could be also wrong about this lol

          thanks this is the silliest thing I’ve seen passed for science in recent memory

          This specific theory would be irrelevant materially too, correct? Because you wouldn’t be able to detect what the universe “knows” without woo woo magic. In fact wouldn’t the end result just be some sort of other explanation but with “works due to natural laws” replaced with “a physics wizard did it”?

            Oh yeah it wouldn’t change a god damn thing, arguing about it would be literally pointless. Same thing as arguing against free-will, either it exists or it doesn’t. Debating it is pointless, finding out one way or the other is pointless since in both cases nothing changes.

              the only way free will is relevant to debate or things like this are relevant to debate is if it’s the kind that has a puppet master making us do stuff AND it’s possible for us to kill them

          She is truly awful, her take in her own field is extremely dumb but it’s her takes in other fields that are even worse. Like a lot of science YouTubers she doesn’t stay in her lane, she thinks the fact someone gave her a phd for her ridiculous idea of superdeterminism gives her license to opine about other field she knows fuck all about.

          If you can find any video of hers from a field you have first hand knowledge about her takes are wrong, and not just wrong, but that special kind of wrong where you completely misunderstand the basics of something and then extrapolate out from there the stupidest fucking conclusions imaginable.
