This article's author is so completely missing the point it's fucking amazing. The rise of podcasters like Andrew Huberman represent the accessibility of lectures by Stanford Professors to the general public. The fact that said scientists can cite research and people can easily reference them is the tearing down of ivory towers in action, whereas in the past scientific research was only accessible to the academic elite. People being able to improve their health through self-help rather than going through the cartel-like medical system is a huge boon to healthcare accessibility and affordability. You can live in rural bumfuck nowhere and be able to access a YouTube lecture far far more easily than you will EVER be able to access a board-certified MD. Sure, some of the things people like Huberman recommend are expensive, and they even shill for overpriced supplements like AG1 which you can get an equivalent of for cheaper. But this is the societal change that the author evidently wants to see happening, happening. The thing is, a lot of people on soapboxes simply think by vapidly complaining about inequality and societal injustice that they're doing something about it to the extent that they can't recognise when it's breaking down. They seem to have no sincere motivation to resolve societal level injustice, they just seem to have a personal motivation to be seen as an equity thought leader to enrich their own lives.
