Lots of things people are interested in could reasonably be described as ridiculous by someone educated in the field. Why is it so hard for you to see those topics as a conversation starter rather than basically calling people idiots for wanting to learn about something?

Because while he dresses it up as scientific theories, he's just spewing unfounded conspiracy theories?

Because this stuff is a conversation starter in the same way that "the moon landing was staged", "the earth is flat" and "chemtrails turn the frogs gay" is?

Because instead of actual scientific education or archeological documentaries, this is the shit that gets funded? Because who knows how many people will now believe that his fanfiction of a theory is a legitimate interpretation of humanity's history?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as condescending, I really don't. But his entire "documentary" is deeply unserious at best, and an outright lie at worst.
