Full Disclosure: I consume an awful lot of content by both Bret and Eric. I generally respect their opinions as a default position. So, I absolutely acknowledge my bias. However, I am eager to hear views that challenge my prior assumptions - even from someone who I'd never heard of before.

That being said, when that someone can't even make it 12 seconds without such an obvious misrepresentation as "self-appointed leaders of the intellectual dark web", they've lost the benefit of the doubt necessary to retain my attention any further.

He does seem to go overly hard on trying to make them look stupid, I am not sure why. He could have easily critiqued without this flashy angry angle. But a lot of what he says resonated. I too considered both pseudoscience wannabe crybabies desperate for attention fraudsters. But if I had to point out their flaws, I wouldn’t call them any of that 🤣

I like to think I'd be able to wade through a fair amount of ad hominems to sift out the moments of sincere critique. False assertions of fact are a different matter.
