  • The Definitive Guide to Debunking Creationists Part 3: Evolutionary Biology/Paleontology

    With cosmology, planetary science, and abiogenesis covered, we are not at a stage where life is thriving and evolving. How does evolution work, and how do creationists get it wrong? What are the most common talking points and straw men that creationists put forward to try and invalidate evolution? Let's talk about speciation, the fossil record, and so much more!

  • Sean Carroll Humiliates Eric Weinstein (Piers Morgan is Also Dumb)

    Eric Weinstein loves pretending to be a physicist. This is something he is able to do on podcasts because most people can't tell that he isn't one. But real physicists can see right through him. And today we get to watch one of these real physicists, Sean Carroll, tell Eric that he isn't a physicist at all right to his smug face, over and over again. It's extremely satisfying. If you missed this Piers Morgan segment, or even if you saw it but enjoy my commentary on such things, this video is very much for you.

  • Chris Langan: The Dumbest “Smartest Man” in the World

    There's this guy named Chris Langan who calls himself the smartest man in the world, pretending to have a super awesome theory of everything called the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe. His interview with Michael Knowles from the Daily Wire has gone quite viral, with lots of people believing that Chris really is a supergenius. Spoiler alert: he isn't. He's just another average intellect grifter pretending to say smart things. Let's break down his dumbest statements together!
