I started off really liking Kurzgesagt but got tired with how often they started with conclusions and then constructed narratives to justify it, rather than starting with observations. It's just the wrong way to think and present things.

  I prefer this "main idea up front" presentation. In Slack messages, emails, articles, etc. Everything but drama/fiction.

  Kurzgesagt seemed out of character for his rant video on dairy, it was odd.

To pile on with the recommendations, I really enjoy "Launch Pad Astronomy". https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristianReady https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristianReady

Yep, he's awesome. I am kinda surprised that he himself seems to be a data scientist? I'd have suspected he'd be a phycisist.

  Physics degrees were the gateway into data science before there was such a thing as a data science degree. So it's possible that he works as a data scientist but was trained as a physicist.

+1 Sabine Hossenfelder. I find her way of explaining a bit more towards my tastes.

I'd also recommend Sean Carroll. His "Biggest Ideas in the Universe" series is really great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI09kat_GeI&list=PLrxfgDEc2NxZJcWcrxH3jyjUUrJlnoyzX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI09kat_GeI&list=PLrxfgDEc2N... I'd also recommend his podcast, Mindscape.
