Suffering from the classic techbro trope of thinking she's an expert on everything because she's an expert on one thing

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

You're right but calling her a tech bro is stretching the term a bit imo
ok stemlord how's that
Not surprised she's a lib. Although we all can benefit from more Commie scientists (sorry, Lysenko).
That being said, I appreciate her weekly science news stuff and no-nonsense physics videos. For people with technical backgrounds, she's better than similar science channels out there (except PBS Spacetime, my beloved).
On another note, she turned so clickbaity recently. What's with YouTube and those weird thumbnail face expressions?? I see it everywhere and it's so greasy-looking.

Something about the YouTube algorithm pushing videos with that type of thumbnail so now every video has a thumbnail of someone making a funny face to drive viewership.
Would love to see a photo of a room filled with the people whom these faces work on.
wow the arrogant physicist is arrogant? although I think it's fascinating that she's finds herself such an outsider because she thinks there's so many problems in the field of physics and that physicists have lost their way but she hasn't considered if our economic system is just as bunk...
She's approaching economics at face value. The dance thing that techbros do.
Like looking at currency as an exchange medium and not a historical construct.
right it's just interesting that she doesn't approach her own field, physics, at face value but will do the same for others lol
Agreed, shows that you can't just rely on a single field of understanding to get everything
Who? Not being an asshole I genuinely don’t know who this is lol
She's a physicist that does YouTube videos
Virgin sabine vs the chad second thought
Another mark on the list of physicists huffing their egos too hard and talking about things they're not an expert in.
Though it's not new. She's been dipping into the transphobia brainworms recently.
falling into the classic blunder of being an expert in one particular field and assuming that you know fucking anything about an unrelated field
