C’mon people, still?

Check out the number of views of the YouTube shorts where historian and author Sarah CM Paine punches out a history lesson in spurts of ironic and bell clear words- 2.3 million views, 1.6M, 8.5M.

Who is she? It’s hard to know because, despite her online presence, a Google search generates no profiles written about her. Her Wikipedia page has a new photo above a brief description. Only this to stand up for a long time academic who has penned a respectable number of books.

Granted, this new exposure is due to one person- Dwarkesh Patel. He has hosted and promoted Sarah CM Paine’s material. He gets full credit. And there are pleanty of profiles written on him such as in Time or here.
