Comment Re:Sabine Hossenfelder used to have a point (Score 2) 213

I thought the Jonathan Jarry article distorted and oversimplified Sabine's actual views. I encourage people who are interested to make the effort to watch her videos, and to take the caricatures by her opponents with some skepticism.

And to make a small update, Jarry's article (from April) says:

Sabine Hossenfelder often complains about the negative feedback she receives after, for example, getting an op-ed published in The New York Times or The Guardian, but no deontological police is [sic] going to come after her for misleading people about the state of science.

That turned out to be premature. From Science and Culture Today earlier this month: For Criticizing Her Field, Sabine Hossenfelder Gets Canceled. She is quoted:

My former academic institution discontinued my affiliation with them after members of the community complained about my criticism, on their research, and on academic conduct in general, and I refused to agree to tone policing. Free speech in Germany has a big problem indeed.

Those corporate shills at Cato: Our Widespread Faith In Recycling Is Misplaced. That's from 1997.

Even before that, John Tierney in the New York Times: Recycling Is Garbage.

Dear Slashdot (and Rob Bonta, California's Attorney General): Welcome to the party. But please display a little humility for coming to the party over a quarter-century late.
