What do you mean by propogandist?
Now he is used for nostalgia
He isn't a real scientist
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
@Dennafen try to watch his netflix dumpster fire and you'll see it fast
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
You should see his stand up from before he had his kid's show. It was bad.
I feel he's an ideolog, but that's not a propogandist per say.
I may not have found the right word
But you probably know what I mean
he pushes a narrative he knows isn't true for a political purpose
It depends on what you mean by the word.
He is an influencer
Yeah that second part, that's the part I don't know abaout.
"knows isn't ture"
More someone trying to get people to believe based on his presence and less about facts
he had a segment on there being two genders back in the 90s
I don't think he's "knows it's not true".
now he has a segment that he states gender is imaginary
No I am not saying Nye knows the truth
I'm not saying he is even deliberately lying
Gender as a social construct is fungible. Sex isn't.
The problem is that those two things aren't clearly defined.
But he certainly is more of an influencer than a real scientist or even someone fairly good with logic
Because he's not a scientist. He doesn't have a science degree. He's a mechanical engineer.
He's a 'science guy'
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.
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
Have a real scientist do real science facts, not this quack
he attacks the people who disagree with the left as being evil people regularly as well
even though his own side attacks him for simply attending a trump held climate change talk
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
Why can't we be aware of counter arguments
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.
Shows he doesn't check his own side has hypocrites
It shows ultimately he is on a payroll. Or that he is not as bright as thought
Which is more likely
Maybe the former
his show on netflix was just terrible
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.
