What do you mean by propogandist?

2018-12-12 05:48:46 UTC  

Now he is used for nostalgia

2018-12-12 05:48:56 UTC  

He isn't a real scientist

2018-12-12 05:49:04 UTC  

Well he's not 'Bill Nye the Scientist' for good reason. Nye's been an asshole for a long time, it's just that it was harder for people to learn before everyone was on the internet as they are today

2018-12-12 05:49:09 UTC  

@Dennafen try to watch his netflix dumpster fire and you'll see it fast

2018-12-12 05:49:36 UTC  

He couldn't say the rate at which climate change would be without human involvement yet he was willing to say anyone denying human involvement in climate change should be locked up

2018-12-12 05:49:51 UTC  

You should see his stand up from before he had his kid's show. It was bad.

2018-12-12 05:49:55 UTC  

I feel he's an ideolog, but that's not a propogandist per say.

2018-12-12 05:50:07 UTC  

I may not have found the right word

2018-12-12 05:50:16 UTC  

But you probably know what I mean

2018-12-12 05:50:21 UTC  

he pushes a narrative he knows isn't true for a political purpose

2018-12-12 05:50:22 UTC  

It depends on what you mean by the word.

2018-12-12 05:50:31 UTC  

He is an influencer

2018-12-12 05:50:37 UTC  

Yeah that second part, that's the part I don't know abaout.

2018-12-12 05:50:44 UTC  

"knows isn't ture"

2018-12-12 05:50:55 UTC  

More someone trying to get people to believe based on his presence and less about facts

2018-12-12 05:50:57 UTC  

he had a segment on there being two genders back in the 90s

2018-12-12 05:50:59 UTC  

I don't think he's "knows it's not true".

2018-12-12 05:51:07 UTC  

now he has a segment that he states gender is imaginary

2018-12-12 05:51:21 UTC  

No I am not saying Nye knows the truth

2018-12-12 05:51:28 UTC  

so how did he get from 2 genders to gender is imaginary

2018-12-12 05:51:36 UTC  

I'm not saying he is even deliberately lying

2018-12-12 05:51:42 UTC  

Gender as a social construct is fungible. Sex isn't.

2018-12-12 05:51:56 UTC  

The problem is that those two things aren't clearly defined.

2018-12-12 05:51:59 UTC  

But he certainly is more of an influencer than a real scientist or even someone fairly good with logic

2018-12-12 05:52:33 UTC  

Because he's not a scientist. He doesn't have a science degree. He's a mechanical engineer.

2018-12-12 05:52:40 UTC  

He's a 'science guy'

2018-12-12 05:52:43 UTC  

So if you were to say he's a propogandist because he's only showing one side of an argument, or he has an agenda I would agree.

2018-12-12 05:52:46 UTC  

To say someone with different ideas on a matter who is simply asking questions about supposedly established fact should be locked up, that is not logical at all

2018-12-12 05:53:04 UTC  

Have a real scientist do real science facts, not this quack

2018-12-12 05:53:09 UTC  

he attacks the people who disagree with the left as being evil people regularly as well

2018-12-12 05:53:34 UTC  

even though his own side attacks him for simply attending a trump held climate change talk

2018-12-12 05:53:45 UTC  

For example I believe in a universe and solar system et.al. But when I ask about proofs of it and cite counter arguments from flat Earthers I am labeled a nutjob

2018-12-12 05:53:56 UTC  

Why can't we be aware of counter arguments

2018-12-12 05:54:04 UTC  

Most real scientists are bad at being performers, so there is some value in having non-scientists doing PR for science. Just not in having Nye do it.

2018-12-12 05:54:20 UTC  

Shows he doesn't check his own side has hypocrites

2018-12-12 05:54:42 UTC  

It shows ultimately he is on a payroll. Or that he is not as bright as thought

2018-12-12 05:54:48 UTC  

Which is more likely

2018-12-12 05:54:53 UTC  

Maybe the former

2018-12-12 05:54:58 UTC  

his show on netflix was just terrible

2018-12-12 05:55:36 UTC  

You can be smart but lack the wisdom to look past your ego and consider that you may be wrong, or that the plebs are worthy of having things explained to them rather than brushing their questions to the side.
