@acollierastroAngela Collier - that's part of the story, but there's always been vast inequality in things like knowledge of physics. One new thing is that it's easy for the uneducated to communicate to a mass audience. When it comes to technical subjects like physics I feel it's working quite badly so far: people seem more persuaded by someone charismatic and confident than someone clear, precise, credentialed and a wee bit boring.
@johncarlosbaez @BartoszMilewski This thread makes me sad. I get where you guys are coming from but it's just not a good look (and that says a lot that even I, autistic as I am, can sense that).
So instead, maybe let's focus on the real problem which is I think you guys have an issue figuring out how to reach an audience; it's not magic, it just takes skill and time but imho, the problem is that it's just not enjoyable to develop that muscle, especially now a days. FWIW, i've been following Sabine for a decade and have been following angela's youtube channel since almost when she started it. And lo and behold, once Angela getting popular, she started running into the same scaling problems that Sabine ran into. I don't know how to make everyone play nice with each other, but I sure don't think ragging on the few science & math advocates out there is a good look for physics.
the #tldr is i guess #TIL that mathematicians are human too and are just as salty and in their feelings as the rest of us
