Professor Dave's agressive communication style

[Thought Art]

@lostingenosmaze Yeah, It's interesting. I'd have to sit down and listen, and break apart his ad-hominems from what is actually true or useful. I personally... think a lot of GAIA and anything to do with Chris Hancock is bullshit. But, I should still be able to listen and critique it without the immaturity of Dave. 

He is popular because he reflect the entertaining filth of online content and social media. The drama is why people watch.

Chris??

You mean Graham Hancock?

Graham Hancock's theories are bad and almost certianly wrong. I can agree with Dave on that.

Dave is very, very trapped in the pre/trans fallacy. He is incapable of distinguishing genuine mysticism from religon and New Age beliefs.

You should see Dave's debate vs Dr James Tour.

Dave is an unhinged scoundrel. Dr Tour is a worldclass chemist.

Dave is full of "scientific" shit while James tour is full of religious shit.  James tour literally believes human were directly created by god or sm shit. His argument was also pretty bad. But hey he is at least a polite human being unlike....

@Leo Gura Yes Graham.

Yes, Dave has a higher perspective in some ways. A lower perspective in other ways.

Wow, Dave is really an asshole. He spends most of his time doing character assassination. That’s not science. That’s being a dick.

I know this is a bit old but I want to address just how toxic his fanbase is as well. So around a year ago, I found a reddit post that was super long ang going over Dave's toxicity. Then he mentioned that Dave made extremely bad and anti semitic tweets in October 2023 and I think he had more of them until January 2024. Thankfully his twitter account got banned in January 2024.

Then the guy who made the post actually made a whole video on this.

Then over 3 months ago, Dave made a response video to this. Then Norbert made a response video back. After he made the first video, he got harassed by Dave's fanbase. Then just a few days ago, he found out that one of the members in his discord server is a Dave fan and was secretly telling Dave what Norbert was discussing in the server which caused him to get harassed even more by the fanbase. It got so bad that he had to ban the word "Dave" and "box" and "boxxing" from his youtube comments. He had to delete every message that talks about Dave Farina in his discord server then make it a rule that no more dave farina stuff in the discord server. The drama was pretty intense. For reference. Norbert has just over 1,000 subscribers while Dave has over 4 million (Correct me if I am wrong).

So why are I making this post?

I am making this post because as a person who really cares about science and mysticism deeply, someone like him should not be welcome in the scientific community. His ultra aggressive tactics will make the scientific community look far worse than they actually are. All serious academics should blacklist him. He seriously has one of the worst fanbases ever. It's crazy that he is still getting views and gaining popularity. And since @Leo Gura you recently made your blog post about scientific gaslighting, well, Dave Farina is currently the ultimate example of that.

 

Let more people know about his toxic side. He should not be welcome to the scientific community.

He is literaly the final boss of Reddit, the strongest redditor archetype has to offer. Final boss because he's quite accomplished in his fields of expertise and inteligent, also is able to speak convincigly and confidently, built himself an audience, etc. etc. But he's clearly a prick and a POS. All influencer types are like that in some way or another to various degrees, even if they are advocating for science

He's been dabbling in history as of recently I've noticed as well which I found weird by posting short historical lectures on YT, it's like he's trying to convince us he really knows it all lol Maybe short on money? But it's like the most basic history ever, who'd even watch that shit

@Uddi  Great video.  The problem with aggression is it comes back to bite you.  It might be good for his social media channel, but if he wants to teach again, that is the problem.  He is not using a fake identity like most people online.

@Joseph Maynor True but if we compare him to other science communicators, he is the worst and has the worst fanbase. I was shocked when I first heard about his tweets. Man he will never care or stop.
