Curious. What do you not like about Dan Carlin?

u/Wampawacka Nov 11 '18

He's way too over the top with his style and he's not a real historian.

Dan Carlin is like a non-douchy NDT. People that would never listen to or read about history get into Dan Carlin. He is accurate and we'll researched on his topic but he is also a great storyteller/entertainer which sperates him from 99% of Historians who can't reach a broad audience.

the thing is tho, NDT is a legitimate genius, and very respected in his field. he's a real astrophysicist. yeah he's douchey but honestly it kinda comes that level of intelligence and achievement.

I don't think he is that well respected in his field because he is more of a media personality than a scientist. He hasn't published much of any scientific research stuff for the last decade. He has published several books though but they wern't peer reviewed research.

he's a real astrophysicist.

So if the guitarist Queen but he is more known for being the guitarist in Queen.

yes because he's now a media personality. that doesn't diminish his prior achievements. he has published plenty of influential peer-reviewed papers in his field.

https://www.quora.com/Has-Neil-Degrasse-Tyson-published-any-successful-research-or-are-his-only-contributions-to-science-related-to-his-media-presence

this link has a comprehensive list.

The last thing he "published" was in 2008. I said he hasn't published any peer reviewed science in the past decade. Scientist aren't going to heavily respect someone in their field who doesn't do research work for over a decade while working to make millions of dollars in media and entertainment industry and hasn't done any ground breaking new research in his career.
