A long, long time ago, before I realized software makes more money than being an EE(albeit with less life satisfaction), I went to school for EE. I like the Veritasium video for the debate it is spurring, but I really hate his impractical assumptions(funny, since 80% of EE is 1st and 2nd order approximations with 10% tolerances, but I digress). I get that he needs to simply things dramatically because of the audience he's trying to reach, but light year long superconducting wires and a light bulb that turns on with infinitesimal current just bother me. I guess normies wouldn't get that interested by talking about transient EM waves... but the video just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I understand why EEs are making response videos. I wish he at least mentioned that the power reaching the light bulb would be practically useless. Oh well. Hopefully it spurs a few young minds into sacrificing higher pay for a career in EE or physics.
