I used to have the same opinion as OP. Then I experienced the horrors of academia and am jealous of the people who 'love science' because they still have an idealized, wonder-filled perception of what goes on in the world of research.

I don't agree, am also in academia and I enjoy NDT. Maybe its cause am dumb about things outside my field and get blown away cool science facts.

No, it's your black cock lust.

brb, signing up for a STEM major

No kink shame pls. πŸ¦„πŸ’ž This is a sex positive subbie (β—•β€Ώβ—•βœΏ) πŸ’žπŸ¦„

For example, today I learned that the area of the shadow of an arbitrarily rotated unit cube is equal to the difference in height between its lowest and highest points. It must be a unit cube because we are numerically comparing length and area which use units with different dimensionality.

His beatification of Giordano Bruno in Cosmos annoyed me.

The whole "no one should be able to date, have kids, or actually live until they're 40 or so" mentality definitely turned me off. I feel like it's actually harder to do research as a research scientist than to just treat it as a weekend hobby, because you end up neglecting so many basic human needs along the way that it ends up being more distracting than a full-time job.

Nietszche pointed out the scientists resemble clergy in the self-negation required of them.

The messed up part is that they spend like 80% of their time on managerial bullshit instead of making discoveries anyway.

the horrors of academia

Oh cry me a river. You can still have the love and be weary of the fuckery done by scientists/researches. As if they can't be biased cunts.

Do i like NDT and Nye? Nope. Not my "type".

Medical students shouldn't be allowed to have opinions on real science/research. Especially if they only got their bachelors.

"real" science

I love you Ed.

Same. Took you 15 hours just to say that? Ω„Ω…Ψ§Ψ€

Took me way longer actually, I've been a secret admirer of yours for many moons 🌚🌚🌚

delet yourself

Bill Nye achieved peak popularity after a video teaching children to engage in butt-stuff with out pointing out some of the consequences. What is going on with the world?

Wait what?

You should have sex with strangers, and if you abide by a sexual preference then that is proof that you are a bigot. If you don't fully agree with this message then you are scientifically incorrect in addition to being an irredeemable deplorable who should/will vote for Trump.

Oh for fucks sake I forgot how much I need to commit suicide since my last viewing of... that

People get really defensive about their favorite meme science people.

/u/restlessly_injected As much as I agree with you on personal taste, it's nice to have someone go to bat for you when half the country unironically thinks "hur dur ur stoopid" and cheers on the assholes trying to defund your lab so they don't have to be accountable. I mean, do you really want the average, socially inept (and often foreign) scientist trying to explain why their work is important to the public? It doesn't take a genius to see how that would go.

Well he is right though.

People can be smart and still have dumbass opinions.

Idk why this is hard to grasp.

Dumb opinions make you dumb.

You can think that lizards are at the center of the Earth and still be a brilliant scientist tho.

and then Intelligence tells you that colds aren't caused by being cold

and then Intelligence tells you to reread and notice that the phrase wasn't "catch your death of a cold", and realizes that hypothermia is a thing and so is pneumonia.

I have always considered it to mean that you will catch a cold. After some googling, it seems that most dictionaries agree with me, but there are some that use your interpretation. So I guess you weren't really wrong.

building a part of your identity from either liking or disliking a famous science communicator are both equally good reasons to kill yourself

I mean those two are smart people so idk what op thinks is smart.

They certainly are, in their respective fields. They act like they're the fucking messiah in every field of science, though, and people suck their dicks for it.

TIL Chocolate Science Man is a dummy and that literally any retard can find a PhD in Astrophysics in a Cracker Jack box.

I’m sure he’s very knowledgeable about astrophysics but some people act like that makes him an expert on everything

a lot of people seem to like it, ergo its trash

It's easy to ignore facts and reality when you're a faux intellectual piece of shit with a double digit iq and no friends/redeemable qualities.

My favorite comment and im only like 5 commemts into the thread. This can describe like 80% of reddit

They're just science entertainers for children and young adults. Nothing wrong with that.

Much like the failure of Islamism and inters-sectional feminism that is the modern left, the white sharia clowns on the right also hate science.

These guys are being targeted because they are atheists who believe in evolution. Push the next retard who complains about them: its either "Islamophobia is the biggest problem in the world" or "they are teaching my kids about evolution hurr." It is a united left-right muslim-christan attack on atheism and science.

These guys are being targeted because they are atheists who believe in evolution.

Tyson is being targeted because he's incompetent. See this thread in badmathematics as well this thread in physics.

Tyson can get away with mangling high school math and physics because most his audience slept through high school.

People who are into those two tend to be into Elon Musk (another person I can't stand).

Don't insult our supreme messiah.
