She also made a video on capitalism, which was politically controversial (obviously) but also made several blatantly, objectively wrong claims that were based on no research whatsoever (cough barter economy cough).
- bawolff 3y agoMost people have bad takes outside of their field of expertise. I haven't seen her video on capitalism, but honestly no matter how horrible it is, i doubt it would change my view on her videos on physics.
- bmitc 3y agoI think, more often than not, those people are scientists and engineers, and physicists seem to be the most willing to do so.
- nostromo 3y agoHer take on capitalism is in line what most economists think though. It was only controversial amongst people outside of that field.
- Qwertious 3y agoNobody remotely agrees with the barter economy thing. She also completely omitted any mention of the political economy, while basically saying the solution to climate change is the political economy. Like, really, why does she think a carbon tax hasn't already been implemented? Political economy.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoIt's a good idea to not listen to Physicists talking about Economics, or Economists on Physics either. An even better idea would be people not producing these "authoritative-seeming hot takes outside of their field of expertise" in the first place though.
