A youtuber I sometimes watch uploaded a video called "So I'm in the Epstein Files" which is the most unhinged clickbait I've seen so far. She wrote a scathing critique of Lawrence Krauss for defending Epstein and he was complaining about it to Epstein in emails. Well played, I did end up watching the video.

Ahhh, Rebecca Watson, Dark Mother of the atheist/skeptic movement. I like her content when she isn't trash-talking AES countries.

Don't you know, skepticism stops before questioning Liberalism. Liberalism is unassailable, truly the best thing humans have ever made. agony-deep

Why I never read RationalWiki anymore.

RationalWiki

you mean the website that split with Conservapedia over religion has even worse takes than mainline NATOpedia? shocked-pikachu

All their articles related to communism are such complete garbage. Actually unreadable

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

It also uses lots and lots of emotionally charged language, seemingly at odds with it being "Rational",

I'm not surprised. She's better than any other member or former member of the skeptic movement that I'm aware of but I don't expect much from them.

PZ Myers is pretty good I think, but can never quite shake off the lib at the end of the day (true of Rebecca Watson too). Anyone know how Greta Christina turned out?

I just watch Potholer54 like once a year when he lays out all the new quacks to look out for.

Professor Summers, will this be on the test?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 42 points 6 days ago

I would be heckling from the back shouting out his most pathetic statements from the emails

Chapter 1: Giving people money to help them pay down their debt during COVID is bad.

Chapter 2: Being anti-deregulation of the financial sector means you are a luddite.

Chapter 3 - declining life expectancy is good, actually. In both Russia and the US

The most disturbing part of this video is not one of the students left the classroom. Psychotic.

Motherfuckers signed up for a class proctored by Larry Summers.

The Crimson ran an aggrieved editorial about him, though!

no surprise here, these people have everything to hide but nothing to care about

the "so what?" attitude is a direct consequence of our own political passivity

How the fuck did that one commenter on that thread arrive at "Hitler was right" as their takeaway from all this?

Aside from already believing it...

[–] naom3@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s because epstein is jewish

[–] Sebrof@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago

Oh... I see. I forget that because it's the last thing I think of when I think of that guy

He finally deigned to step down from all his teaching roles today.
