I often feel like Tyler just comes up with a load of stuff to fill in another podcast episode and try and sell a few more strain gauges through his website!
He certainly likes to package things as being revolutionary and very clever. However, when pushed he rarely explains well or engages, he blocked me from posting on his insta posts for a while and I don't even remember being mean! He also seems very bad at extrapolating beyond his very limited experience - e.g. to trying to actually be good at sport climbing.
It's a pity - he has lots of interesting ideas and it would be cool to get to the bottom of which ones are worthwhile and which aren't... but he shows no interest in that, instead posting in a very prescriptive way, not distinguishing between opinion/hypothesis and facts, and trying to dismiss probing comments by vague appeals to authority and sounding sciency. It's funny watching him occasionally get owned by someone sensible in the comments on insta. I now only go near his insta if I want to wind myself up :lol:
