He started off making anti-creationist vids, then he went anti-SJW to make buttloads of cash... then he go an $80k hires hispeed camera and was making vids again I thought. That was years ago, though.

Last time I watched him was during that solar eclipse. And even that was the first time in a while that I had watched his stuff. I wonder if he still talks about hyperloops and solar roads.

He used to do debunking videos of dumb science ideas and actually did some experiments on camera. It was around the Solar Roadways era when everyone was claiming those would save the Earth but anyone who thought about it realized how bad of an idea it was. I couldn't stand his political stuff and his early debates against creationists were painful.

That's right. He was debunking retarded GoFundMe's like solar roadways or self-refilling water bottles. His debates were dumb, but his early videos where he would go through creationist videos and show how they didn't make sense were pretty good. His political stuff was just a grift. Everyone was getting rich making SJW vids and he went for that. To be fair, he made far more money doing that than he did with his PhD as a researcher, so you can't blame him.

I can agree that his political takes are as compelling as warm dog water. Though I do like his science videos, because I would have to say those are actually really well done. His expose videos of Kickstarter inventions has also brought me a good amount of entertainment. Regarding his cow antics, well most of those thedora tippers of old school YouTube engaged in that type of clown show shit. I can care less about his theological, economic, or political stances. Not generally because I disagree with them, but because he is better suited to science, and sticking to the things that he knows best.

He’s been butt buddies with fricking Common Sense Skeptic of all people lmao. Fucking Anti-Elon people are just weird as fuck.

Also he’s a weird ass Space Shuttle shill now. He honestly believes that the Space Shuttle is this Godsend of a vehicle and that Musk should just remake the Shuttle.

He just keeps moaning about the lack of an electric semi truck, even though it seems the Tesla Semi Trucks are now spotted in the wild.

Link? From what I understand barring some huge advance in battery technology, the electric semi truck just doesn't add up and certainly doesn't have any where near the range required to work commercially.

IMO, I think electric vehicles are impractical for long distance travel.
They work in local cities, but their development has ben on/off, gasoline has been a constant stream.

Like I said, he’s very very conservative when it comes to technology. Thinks the Space Shuttle can stay in orbit forever by docking with the ISS and can re-enter the atmosphere after staying in orbit for months on end.

Being conservative is one thing.
Wanting it to stay stagnant for 50 years is Luddite shit.
I've watched many of his videos over the years, but I don't remember if he he ever went after Lockheed Martin, Northrop Gruman or any of the major players.
Is he only concerned with destroying Elon Musk now?

I just wish there was a laugh reaction, that was gold.
I'm mostly talking about Aerospace, the less dependent we are on Russia for that the better.
Even though Putin is a half decent AntiSJW commentator at the moment, if the Russia thing falls flat for Putin, he could make Thunderfoot money by joining the Youtube platform.

No, he's concerned with destroying anything that isn't 20 years old. He’s been going after SpaceX and like anything that isn't traditional aerospace. I'm getting the vibe that he is a neo-Luddite and that he’s a researcher just so he can justify it.
