Bill Nye died in 1999 :sciencejak:

Bill Nye the science guy endorses Kamala :soyjakwow:

It's mind boggling that so many people these days think science can be opinionated

Redditors would never disagree with the sacred science

Every hypothesis starts as an opinion. To say science is not opinionated is ludicrous.

I think this guy woke up feeling the need to be contrarian today :npcoppse:

Can Bill define a woman? Does Bill believe in natural immunity? Questions like these are how you figure out who believes in science and who doesn't.

That's bad faith science chud, it doesn't count! :soyreddit:

Yup. It is also still a mystery why anyone would vote for a 78 year old lying, felon . He is disrespectful to anyone he comes in contact with especially women. He cheats on his wife. He sells Bibles. He is destroying the country with hate and racism just to keep himself out prison.

>He sells Bibles

:marseyconfused:

She is now for fracking? Bill Nye predicted that the north pole ice cap will melt by 2030 so it doesn't make sense.

Maybe not even he believes his doomer statements :marseyshrug:

Honestly feel like she's just kinda going with it to get the PA votes

I haven't heard why she flip flopped. But she took a quiver out of Trump's bow.

Actually chud a politician completely lying about their platfors is good :soyjakanimeglasses:

[...] Like, we'd need some sort of coming together moment as a species and mobilize like it was WW3, but I highly doubt that will ever happen.

I think this guy is a little confused about what 'world war' means :marseyhmmm:

Blue maga isn't much different. Both are horrible and corrupt. America needs to vote for jill stein.

Jill Stein still sends redditors into seething rage :marseyrage:

It's the anti-intellectualist fragment of our population who think college is a net negative. 79% of Republicans think college is bad for America. When formal education is demonized, it paves the way for the "facts not feelings" crowd to, in fact, replace fact with feelings (like antivax stances). We no longer have reverence for people who are experts on a certain matter; ordinary citizens "do their own research" and think they know better than people who dedicate years of their lives studying a particular subject. Science is one of the most demonized.

The replies to this have everything you need, from smug redditors praising higher education, to chuds complaining about gender studies, to atheists being enlightened once again, to how many genders are out there, to white privilege, to covid vaxxing :marseyramen:

I wish I could believe that.

It's certainly a better model than the alternative.

But scientists lack integrity, just as humans in general do. https://www.science.org/content/article/fake-scientific-papers-are-alarmingly-common

I mean, that's one of the big ol flaws of academia mixing with the big ol flaws of capitalism.

No, it's just jeets and chinks :marseyjewofthesubcontinent: :marseyj!ewoftheorient:

Even so, saying "Science is Patriotic" is absurd.

And suddenly redditors rediscover their patriotism :marseyeyeroll: This argument pops up all over the comment section :marseylongpost:

Science is not a virtue and an oligarchy to well meaning scientists do not make good leaders.

This is not the start nor the end of this slapfight but it gives you a good ideas about what you'll read if you open the link :marseysnoo:

When will tRump ever take responsibility for his Wrongdoings? This guy has never said, I've made a mistake or something like that. He feels that Everyone should be Punished for their Crimes, but he should be an Exception to the Rule. Like most Americans, I am So Tired of his Never-Ending Crimes.

The lib boomers are here! :marseydoubtit:

Make Science Patriotic Again

MSPA isn't a great acronym tho -

Hah, yeah. Sounds like a food borne illness.

At least some of them still have some self awareness left :marseysnoohug:

Just want to remind people that even Mr. Roger's widow of Pennsylvania (who has since passed away herself, Rest in Peace) said that Trump represents everything her husband stood against.

Hecking wholesome Mr. Roger would be disappointed in you! :marseysoyhype:

As a scientist, I'm not sure I love the idea that "science is patriotic". That seems kinda weird and jingoistic to me. But I agree with Bill's choice for president.

:soysnooseethetalking:

I'm still annoyed at how Reddit turned on this guy when his Netflix series came out and he had a segment that explained the current scientific understanding of s*x and gender. Reddit didn't like the science, so they turned on the messenger.

I'm also annoyed at people who say "he's not a real scientist", as if that's some kind of gotcha. Science communicators are extremely important for communicating scientific concepts to mass audiences. They don't have to be scientists to effectively do that.

If even the gender specials of reddit turned on Nye over the train segment maybe he's not that good at communicating science :marseysmug2:

Bill Nye is a snake oil salesman, not a scientist. He has none of professional ethics that a true scientist has.

Look up ActiveION, he endorsed it and personally sold it, and its complete pseudoscience garbage.

This is ridiculous. My daughter (now early thirties) absolutely adored Bill Nye! His shows (PBS) were sooooo great and a fantastic science educational tool.

The guy is a national treasure, deserves a medal and teachers should use his shows in class. Great endorsement for Kamala. "Scientific American" also endorsed Harris:
