She is a transphobe and peter thiel fangirl. She is against renewables and thinks that 'mainstream science' is just a money making scam. All around dumb bitch who chugged the kool aid.

The facts are:

She has a PhD in theoretical physics. She could not find meaningful employment in particle physics. Unless somebody can correct me, she's produced little if anything substantive to the field.

In the last several years she has engaged in attacks against the public trust for science. She engages the conspiratorial-minded viewers who're looking for any reason to disavow scientific knowledge.

One example was putting on scripted theatrics while reading a self-penned letter fraudulently claimed was from a prominent scientist, who's identity and details of course must be kept totally secret. Reading out this "bombshell letter" was a transparent children's play, where the held-anonymous writer magically agreed with every one of her endless, bleating refrains, that most scientific research is "bullshit".

Then her support for Eric Weinstein who is a complete grifting con-man with an "entertainment" publishing that he fraudulently describes as both a "paper" and a credible physical theory. It was literally released on April 1 and directly in it, it tells you it is a work of fiction meant for entertainment, and like all good science (/s) may not be used, incorporated into other works, or improved upon. It's a complete piece of hogwash, and every credible physicist from here to Mars has described as not fit to wipe fecal matter; not a theory, not even science.

Then there's all the Theil money.

Check out Professor Dave on YT, he just fucking obliterates her.

It's true.

No one can time the market. If I opt to move into a money market at the end of the year, I'm likely giving up some short-term gain, but the flip side is that if this bubble does burst then I can buy back those shares at a massive discount, and profit over the long-term on the market recovering.

It's all a risk. Everyone has to evaluate the info we have and make the best choice according to their risk tolerance.

What really gives me the heebie jeebies are two things:

-The tremendous greed and valuation of so many of these companies, many of which haven't delivered anything except bold promises. LLM's can do simple things well, but its output can't be trusted without human validation, and that's after training on all of the accumulated knowledge of humankind, which is why I tend to think that this bubble is eventually going to pop in dramatic fashion. I also don't think we the public have yet seen the extent of the negative effects of using LLM's, such as the emerging observations of their effect on people's cognitive abilities and how they're able to manipulate.

-The absolutely massive gains in the market over the past two years. My own retirement has had legitimate gains over the past two years that are above and beyond what ponzi schemes promise to deliver, and that's simply unsustainable over the long term, so the question for me becomes when to take the profit and hold for a major event.

Anyway, that's my reasoning around the choices I plan to make. I am not a financial adviser, so don't take any of this as suggestions for what to do with your investments. This is just what makes sense to me.

TLDR she's educated but had some clashes with academia and basically leans into an anti-establishment slant on everything. She's kind of like an enlightened centrist but for science and conspiracy. She's no broken clock, but she's wrong on enough things that you can't really take her at her word.

She also doesn't really say a lot for how long she takes to say it.
