Nothing I said addresses the ‘truth’ of his claims based on who he is 😅 I was explaining why his presentation as an authority on the topic is very purposefully misleading. That’s not an ad hominem fallacy; it’s assessing his credibility. I can discuss the actual scientific points from the video too. But I haven’t because that would take even longer to tap out. And really, if you like rabbit holes, then hearing of controversial context should be enough to make you fact check it yourself. Which is why I pointed out his lack of credibility. I thought someone who questions things would like a bit more juice on the topic. Also, if someone is actually into questioning very robust theories that have withstood countless scientific challenges for generations (like evolution or relativity). I kind of assumed they’d be very keen to know about the first person to ever prove the theory wrong. You know, who they get their info from. Because that would make them the most profound scientific figure of this century! 🤩🥳 I dont think you should take my word for it. Look him up. Read his stuff or watch his lectures. Whenever he makes a point, go and read what the actual scientific consensus is and what the literature says. You’ll find his big gaps that he very conveniently never mentions, and most of his points that he misrepresents, or possibly hasn’t even bothered to read. His own CV shows he’s not even remotely qualified, trained, or experienced on the topic (though he sure enjoys giving humanities work science-sounding names 😂). You can find for yourself that he led an organisation with the goal of making the American culture more theistic in its values by driving a wedge between empirical scientific research and the American education & politics 😅 the dude openly tries to manipulate the masses.. and makes a living from it. Or, just focus on the fact that I don’t recommend trusting the guy 😂
