Interesting analysis from my favorite severe no nonsense physics youtuber gal (who also used to randomly post vids of her doing cover songs to peoples' general confusion lol).
Good bit at the end speculating on the material economic basis for this (useless) way of doing science. People make careers on this fluff that amounts to nothing.
I would go so far as to argue that quantum gravity can't be dialectically approached yet due to a relative lack of any empirical clues as to what the behavior would look like. That's one of the primary sins of string theory, and an issue in general. Measurement problem maybe though. But yeah, the idealism is staggering.
