In response to the Brett Weinstein video below, here is an analysis and rebuttal of his and his guests claims:
There is also a longer more detailed investigation on Medium: https://medium.com/rebel-wisdom/…
- interesting.Fax_Benson
- comments are interesting. I look forward to a rebuttal of a rebuttal. human_centiped.jpg********
- @brabo, I think Brett knows he's not been as objective as he should have been.Morning_star
- Been following this weird internet drama for the past few weeks. The video he did on ivermectin is also worth a watch:
https://www.youtube.…yuekit - Me too @yeukit. I like Brett but he's usually more discerning about the science he questions. However, this time I think he hasn't done himself any favours,...Morning_star
- ...especially not talking to people who would challenge his conclusions.Morning_star
- God save us from self proclaimed intellectuals weighing in on things they're not qualified to speak about.BaskerviIle
- Google has a lot to answer for in giving people the false impression that access to information = high quality research and youtube = high quality broadcastBaskerviIle
- @baskerville, you're wrong about Google and the unqualified.Morning_star
- yeah, very qualified but by no means infallible - when you dig in to it the guests have a history (as brett) as hot-heads with distrust of institutionskingsteven
- Exactly kingsteven. These types, even if they have a career history in science academia, often have big egos...BaskerviIle
- ...which they feel entitles them to weigh in on issues outside of their purviewBaskerviIle
- Weinstein and the IDW types tend to cosplay as intellectuals outside of their very specific fields of study.garbage
- @baskerville, @garbage, if only we could find a way to stop people thinking for themselves.Morning_star
- There does seem to be inverse correlation between objectivity and number of YouTube / patreon subscribers.Fax_Benson
- *not fact checkedFax_Benson
- Interesting video. Good point in that the 'new media' have no idea what they are doing when it comes to responsible reporting.inteliboy
- @morningstar Yeah, the "do your own research crowd" is totally batting 1.000 these days.garbage
- The 'do you own research' crowd are fucking idiots and deserve what they get but discussion regarding subjective medical opinions and corporate agendas and...Morning_star
- ...social media bias is surely fair and absolutely necessary.Morning_star
- Yeah, and the "do your own research" crowd are usually the emotional idiots that find Weinstein and his ilk legitimate.garbage
- Considering any self-described IDW as an intellectual is just off. Reminds me of Tywin's rebuttal: https://www.youtube.…garbage
- The Weinsteins, Peterson, Harris, Shapiro, Rubin. Joe fucking Rogan (lol). They tend to pontificate far outside their realm of expertise.garbage
- You seem to be giving them far more Importance than they actually have. You know don’t have to listen to them if you don’t want to.Morning_star
- I don't. Just calling out bullshit quackery when I see it.garbage
- I disagree with your ‘bullshit quackery’ conclusion, however, you’re welcome to your opinion.Morning_star
