Edit - Addendum: The video title is quite clickbait-y. The video doesn’t want to debunk any “serious” science, but rather investigates how badly done research with no reproducability or horrible statistical significance is used to influence the discourse in favour of regressive politics.

    She discusses several professors of evopsych with published papers, like Geoffrey Miller and David Buss.

    Discussing evolutionary psychology professors instead of discussing evolutionary psychology? Another reason not to bother.

      You can admit that you don’t like her style without claiming bullshit about a video you didn’t watch, homie.

            I judged the video based on the introduction. Which is part of the purpose of having an introduction: to decide whether it’s worth investing one’s time and attention in what’s being introduced.

              The introduction mostly showed the style of the creator. And it also showed published evopsych papers which the video was about to debunk. It didn’t even mention any “idiot on the internet”.
