Short answer is no.
In his latest video he talks about nobody having measured the one-way speed of light because we do not know whether light has a prefered direction to travel.
However he failed to mention the Michelson-Morley experiment that confirmed this is not the case over 100 years ago.

I saw this and was a bit confused. His claim only makes sense in a 1d universe. There are an infinite number of vectors you can measure in 3d space, if one vector was prefered it would be revealed by testing in multiple directions.

Almost no youtubers are /sci/ approved, because pop science stunts mental development

Yes, it seems these youtubers, including Veritasium are so obsessed with "mind blowing" their viewers, that they only put forward the most outlandish and schizophrenic interpetations of scientific theories.

His point was more of a thought experiment than reality. We still haven't measured the one-way speed of light because it's an impossible task. Granted, the whole discussion is silly because causality will be completely unchanged one way or the other.

The entire premise of this thought experiment is false. Light does not have a prefered direction to travel.
What is the point of a "thought experiment" if it only serves to misinform the public.

The weak nuclear force has a preferred direction of travel. Given at extreme enough conditions, electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force functionally combine into the electroweak force, it might be worth considering any potential asymmetries.

I assume you are referring to the weak force breaking parity symmetry. This is not the same as saying it has a prefered direction of travel in the absolute sense.
I am talking more about something like aether wind.

I guess it would more akin to the difference between both forms of polarized light rather than specific direction of travel.

Do you have a PhD like Veritsatium does? Didn’t think so.

But what does that have to do with what's empirical?

It didn't come from a peer reviewed study so I ignored it.
