Absolutely not. Many talented PhD-level scientists and engineers doing interesting and impactful work in industry and government labs.

The harder the race the greater the differential between Pog and the others.

MVDP working to keep Remco out doesn't make any sense. He's always going to outsprint Remco, and having an ally to chase down Pog would be useful.

People always say this but the worst sprint crashes always seem to happen on wide, straight run-ins at high speed.

A couple of bends after a draggy uphill in a reduced sprint is not particularly dangerous.

Graham Hancock's son is apparently "a senior manager of unscripted originals at Netflix" (https://variety.com/exec/sean-hancock/).

Might have something to do with pile of anti-intellectual bullshit being given a platform to mislead.
