Neil Degrasse Tyson has a good video about his interactions with TH. Legitimately tried to engage and provide feedback on his paper, then TH went on Bro Rogan and talked shit.

Yep. Seen that one as well.
Terence Howard is delusional. But this youtube channel is also not worth watching. Professor Dave is a guy with a MA and has never been a professor. He gets some basic science and history wrong pretty quickly. In fairness, Howard gets it much more wrong. My advice is not to waste your life listening to either of them and instead to watch some Carl Sagan or Richard Feynman.
You're not wrong, but you're clearly not right. He's an educator, and isn't claiming he's taught at the college level, but is of the same education to do so. I assume you take issue with the title of his YouTube channel. Like if I called myself "Captain Dipshit", but have never served in the Navy.
If he called himself Professor Dipshit, I would be happier. Not because I think he's a dipshit, but because it would make clearer that the title professor is not to be taken seriously. I have taught at the college level for many years, and I have many friends who are tenured professors. I don't call myself professor, and I correct people who do call me that (as US college freshman will sometimes do, since some of them think everyone teaching in college must be a professor) because I know very well what it takes to achive that title and I have a lot of respect for people who have accomplished that.
In any case, it's not his title that is the problem. It's the low quality of his takedown. The Tyson video in the other comment accomplishes more in fewer words.
Brb, registering DoctorDipshitMD on every platform.
I also hear Dr. Dre doesn't even have a medical degree!
You watched Milo today too, didn't you? Great video, I was laughing and laughing.
Nope. What's that?
Milo Rossi, a.k.a. Miniminuteman. That's a weird coincidence because he brought this video up in his latest video, which came out yesterday. He's a lot of fun if you like someone who debunks pseudoscience in the archaeology realm.
