Out of those only Kaku sorta qualify in my view. He's the only one out of those that pretends to be something he's not and overselling his brand hard.
The others including Op are just good communicators and/or entertainers.

Being obsessed at targeting pop-sci communicators like you're exposing something is what sends out some pretty strong midwit vibes imo.

Activists are taking over prestigious journals
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508REMOVE-023REMOVE-02576REMOVE-9
>Since my academic paper on Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria was published last month, it has been downloaded more than 38,000 times and is ranked in the top percentile of similar articles in terms of online attention. One might think that the academic society associated with the journal — the International Academy of Sex Research — would be delighted. Instead, its officers are trying to cancel the article.

>Across the industrialised West, there has been an explosion of gender dysphoria among adolescent girls in recent years. In England, for example, annual referrals for child and adolescent gender dysphoria treatment grew in the 10 years between 2011-12 to 2021-22 from 250 (mostly boys) to 5,000 (mostly girls). In the United States, no one is keeping track, but the signs are the same. Two explanations have been given for this trend, and they have provoked a bitter controversy. The first holds that increased tolerance of transgender people has allowed transgender youth to come out earlier and in greater numbers. People who believe this also tend to assume we should not question children and adolescents who declare that they are transgender but should help them if they want to start their transition.

>The second explanation, called “rapid onset gender dysphoria” (ROGD), suggests that, for poorly understood reasons, adolescent and young adult females are susceptible to a socially contagious false belief that they are transgender. Especially susceptible are girls with pre-existing emotional problems who have been exposed to the ideas that transgender people are common, and that an underlying and unrecognised transgender identity can cause emotional problems only curable by gender transition.

>the average iq on sci is 140
the average iq on sci is 100, just like everywhere else. scientists are not unusually intelligent people, thats just a hollywood meme. if scientists were smart then they would be outputting noteworthy and valuable science, which they do not, they produce fake vaccines for nonexistent viral epidemics and dark matter and other stupidity.

No he doesn't, he equivocates "right" in the sense of having a superior outcome with "right" in the sense of correct on the question you're both inquiring into.
Sneaky rhetorical tricks like this originate from a "non-central fallacy", and this is when an event x is classed under a category y as a non-standard instance (in the sense of not matching the connotations typical of the members of the category) and inferring a typical connotation as holding for x. They are very convincing when used in a fast and loose manner because it takes advantage of our fast-and-loose inductive tendencies and representational fallacies, abstacting from unique and different situations and collapsing them into an abstraction.
>>
>>15461619
This isn't true, the average IQ on lesswrong is confirmed 140 from multiple tests. Here, I don't know what it would be, but I suppose less inferring from the lack of comprehension of basic real analysis, normie conspiracy threads, crank threads, quack threads, consciousness threads, etc. Though there is probably a higher than usual number of people in higher education here, but I don't know why they would choose to hang out here seeing as though this board is mostly dead.

you see in injun-nearing, there are more than two right answers to the question. if you solve for x, who are you to define x as x when it could be seen as a y but biologically born a z when society and systemic environmental racism cause it to intersect with rho and then accept the multiverse with x again. so, the answer is 0.
