Can You Trust Kurzgesagt Videos?

From Youtube, "Can you trust our videos? How do we research them nowadays? And what about our older videos? "

Shiny's required to trust his human masters. He just regurgitates their wildly incongruous and self-referential errors. Any belief system that actively suppresses rational thought and "demonizes" anyone who doesn't toe the party line is anathema to intelligent society. All the worst atrocities committed in history are made by true believers like Shiny. If not first hand, then rationalized afterwards, which is just as bad in my opinion.

Aren't we required to trust?

I was kinda looking for a YES or NO. I am but a simple man.

I like that they're honest enough to be critical of themselves and admit mistakes. Actually deleting two of their most popular but flawed vids says a good deal about integrity. Thanks.

Hear. Hear.

QFT.

Yadda yadda yadda.

Nope, sorry, it's looking more like they got caught, held off an interview about this topic, ran to remove the most offending videos before they were exposed, then tried to pretend it was their idea by making this video because it's so important to get things right, when reality is they knew they were wrong for years and did nothing until it was going to be exposed elsewhere.
This isn't intellectual honesty at work, it's the opposite, ass covering and self congratulatory back patting.

See the linked video above about why this is just about brand damage control, not honesty or truth.
