He is the kind that slowly becomes more and more conservative and less and less funny and then cries about how he got cancelled on a talk show.

Oh, but he would be. He is that kind of guy.

Haha, Im here for people flipping out comments :)

Don’t celebrate. She did her part, and there’s little doubt she’ll be rewarded with an extremely well-paying job and a political future.

I don’t agree at all. He is making one very simple, very straightforward point. The game is rigged and without action is going to get worse and worse for most people and the only solution is taxes. It’s not an original point, it’s not anything new, but he does well to represent it. Probably because he is focused on this one thing.

I remember as total earning

In an interview he said he earned less than 2 million.

To be fair, he is not part of the super rich, he is barely rich.

Where can I get the crypto?

From personal experience I can say that I found no hate in the product, no ads, no fraud and unfortunately I haven’t found any crypto there…

It’s a really good package. Brave has great UX. I like the concept of Firefox, but when I want to use a browser, brave offers the best and the most robust experience.

I know it’s hated around lemmy, but I also know a lot of it is not based. I try alternatives every now and then, but the usage is just sub par. Just tried Firefox for a month. Had too many issues. Brave works.

No. I mean you can get all philosophical and say that everything has value only because that’s a human concept, but thats not really something I would answer to.

Fiat has value because it’s enforced. Because we have institutions that enforce it and because all of our lives are intertwined with it. We buy food with it and we are paid with it. It’s everywhere. It doesn’t make it immune to manipulation and fraud and crime, but we can take legal action because law is also intertwined with the same system.

Crypto is , with a couple of exceptions, a really terrible casino.

Yes.

I think it’s an exaggeration of its crime utility. Normal money is king for crime.

I think most people don’t understand cryptocurrencies. On one side it’s all hyperbolic about being your own bank and financial freedom and new tech, on the other side it’s hyperbolic about how there is no underlying value, it’s all going to 0, scams, drugs, terrorism, money laundering,…

But the fact is that crypto does have an underlying value. It’s gambling. Gambling is a huge industry.

Ah, maybe you should watch though. I don’t think the article represents her views.

The article reads like someone wants clicks and they used a famous person to get them.

Did you watch the video?

Sabine is one of the most influential scientists today. You haven’t heard of her? She does amazing work and spreads knowledge, new science discoveries, new theories. I mean she did sell out a little bit in the last two years with the ads, but the videos are still brilliant.

She does criticize academia now and then, but I haven’t heard any critique from her that wasn’t completely justified. She does it for the field is theoretical physics, the field she knows.

The article is a hit piece and if you read it again you can easily recognize fallacies, like describing what other people say and putting that in the context of describing her, even though she has nothing to do with them.

Sabine is not perfect and for sure she has a grudge with what happened to her in academia. Maybe it was that personal experience that was maybe not referential to all of academia and she overstates the issues. But there is also another aspect to this. Now that she is famous, a lot of people try to tack on to her success, either with extreme flattery or extreme slander.

Even more than so many eu institutions haven’t even despite that.

They should be having more kids.
