It was interesting to hear two very different people go through the gurometer at the same time because it created an instant comparison to judge them by on each aspect. It also made me think about putting the two of them in one place and seeing how they would interact.

Vervaeke talks often about and against "bullshit". He would be taken aback to find out that's the compartment where he scored maximum points.

That's the spirit!

I honestly assumed that the PhD thesis video was a covert application to DOGE after I saw her in the comments telling everyone that tax money shouldn't be paying for things like that.

It often happens! The bully!

when Sabine waded into the culture wars my first thought was tax trouble or something like that - she comes off as slightly stricken & rueful in a lot of those vids

This one is pretty interesting. If I were to give Sabine a purely vibe-based guru ranking it would be very low, but as the specific categories came up I found myself repeatedly thinking "oh yeah she does this *a lot*".

Chris, your initial takes on Hossenfelder were on the mark, but you folded to Matt's peer pressure!
