That takes nothing away from his work in my point of view.
I don't understand why we hold impossible standards of perfection and sainthood to successful people.
He may be deeply flawed, he may not be at all. I have no opinion on it and lack the necessary information to form one, even if i wanted to.
NY mag’s reputation is the one damaged here in my eyes.
Is this the article everyone is referring to?
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/andrew-huberman-podc...
Scanning through it, the allegations I spotted are:
* He is flaky and often doesn't keep appointments. * One guy says he invited him to go camping but didn't turn up * Apparently he may have slightly misled his ex about where he lived in private messages * His ex says that he has anger (purely verbal) issues * Some other people all say he has anger issues * Some incredibly spurious allegations that he had an affair
I probably missed some. But notably, almost nowhere is there any attempt to tell Huberman's side or have any empathy for him as a human being. Hence, it's a hit piece.
I do not see his reputation as damaged, I just acknowledge that he is not perfect, something I was sure about beforehand.
Can I know whether the information presented in the article is factual ? Of course not. Is it single sided or even intentionally harming ? Could definitely be.
If this is true it take a lot away from his work in my point of view.
