mathematicians or physicists fall into this category of knowing a lot about many thing . Sabine videos for example . she knows everything it seems

Sabine is a crank who likes to wax poetically about fields she has no creds in.

  She is a grifter, not crank.

    A grifter is just a crank who spews BS for money.

She is just arrogant. And asserts a lot of silly opinion as fact, her stuff on philosophy and theology is generally terrible.The sort of atheist that never actually looks into theology but knows the thing that first came to her head is a definitely the most amazing point against classical theology that has never been considered before.

> mathematicians or physicists fall into this category of knowing a lot about many thing . Sabine videos for example . she knows everything it seems Sabine Hossenfelder, for obvious reasons, knows quite a bit about physics, though on some physics topics she has opinions that are outside the mainstream. For other areas, I am rather certain that she has a talent to learn about them up to some shallow level quite fast, which suffices to create some video about the respective topic, and then move on.

  It turned out she had more talent for being a science influencer than a scientist.

    I don't think she is untalented as a researcher in physics. Where she did not have talent at (and which is why she became a science YouTuber) is in "playing the career game" in physics research. Being a great researcher in some science requires very different talents than climbing the career ladder in this area of academic research.

      She chose to pursue fringe directions in physics which may or may not have been related to her lack of academic success.
