Insightful video on the nature of science academia

[Transform]

This moved me somewhat (as even more of a misfit than Ms. Hossenfelder).

Yeah. This is within my wheelhouse.

I've come to the conclusion that the current financial system is the main driver behind most disasters.

If we want to change, we will need to change the driver.

Into what? I do not know.

But I do know that individual freedom should be high on the list of preservation.

Sabine Hossenfelder is a great scientist and a great thinker. I’ve seen a few of her interviews and have one of her books at home called ”Lost in Math” (still yet to be finished reading). The video above is a very sad but true description of academia. I work in academia too but currently contemplating leaving as well.

Most eduction systems are built to get most people to a certain level. Basically a level high enough to keep society from falling apart. Anyone who that system can't help gets left behind, and those are the people who can make real change because they, we, think differently. These systems we've got only know how to exist as they are. They can educate people on the importance of growth and evolution, but they can't actually do that themselves, they might be out of a job.

I did write about an emerging kind of intelligence. One that doesn't learn or understand linearly but omni-linearly. Able to acquire information visually without processing. Like seeing something and in seeing it, receiving all the information of it. Because that information is it. No matter how we get it, we get it all. Perception is the limiting factor, we can only deal with so much at a time.

Recursive-Gnostic Intelligence — Last, First, and Third

This treatise proposes a new framework for understanding a form of intelligence inadequately captured by prevailing psychological or educational models. Rooted in recursive perception, symbolic semasiographic cognition, scalar temporality, and gnostic awareness

Sorry, but Sabine is a Youtube grifter. Whatever she can do to get more views she will go for it.

Academia has its fair share of problems, for sure, and I don't want to invalidate any harassment she got, but to generalize from her anecdotal account to all science like she does in so many videos is ridiculous. She has no clue on what science and academia is outside of her ex-field and ex-workplace. Ironically, her physics YouTube content is not nearly as bad as her dancing.

That's brutal
