Eric Weinstein on why Neil deGrasse Tyson is not a Great Physicist  

Weinstein proving he is a fool once again.

​@@BidenIsKingboo hoo!

@@geemanbmw did he cry? He is a huge 🐈!

Tyson has his bachelors (Harvard), masters (Univ of Texas), and Ph.D. (Columbia). He is well-credentialed to be considered a "scientist".

@@eac26114653 'Well-credentialed' means he must surely have hundreds of peer-reviewed academic publications under his belt, right? But he has only 5, and probably hasn't been published in over 30 yrs. Not a scientist. He's an evangelical Scientismatic.

Like bill nye

Same

basically, he is. he's too arrogant to be worthy of my attention because arrogance gets it wrong more often

Fk him, he's way too defensive for casual conversations.

No. You're thinking of that lad from Big Bang Theory.

I just saw him say "LEDs convert 100% of their energy into light" when typically 50-60% is lost to heat. Nothing being 100% efficient is a basic fact. He's also very closed-minded. Eric is correct here. When you see he often doesn't even listen and let someone finish sentences, there's no way he's going to break ground.

He's saying that Neil doesn't have the ability to do novel science, because he's incapable of thinking outside the box and resisting social pressures to pursue ideas.

@@spracketskooch Exactly..

NDT is the grown-up's version of Bill Nye. Fun to watch, can drop fun facts like no one's business, but he is not a knowledge creator. True scientists discover new truths and expand human knowledge. NDT's greatest accomplishment is that he "contributed" (did not lead) research that eventually led to Pluto being demoted as a planet decades ago. Yet, NDT is as famous as Einstein today because of social media and communication skills, which are useful in a narrow way to promoting science, but not doing science. I suppose science needs salespeople too.

Yeah, sure.

Maybe one of the best science explainers in the US, although I find him too 'noisy and political, much prefer Michio Kaku. In UK, we have Jim Al Khalili and Brian Cox.

​@@halley4032Kaku and tyson are the same. I do like Brian Cox though. And Brian Greene, Sean Carrol, and Leonard Susskind. Although Susskind isn't as prominent as everyone else here

​@@ItsGamingFancyThey aren't the same. Tyson is argumentative, constantly interrupts people, and talks down to people. Kaku does none of that.

@@Al-Storm they both always talk like they're selling something. I used to watch all these guys all the time but Tyson and Kaku just kind of got old to me

Nope he is just another cheer leader who didn't see any other way to make a living.

I think his 'borderline quaks' comment was about himself. 😂

Edward Witten himself has adapted equations Eric literally wrote himself. His shortcuts into simplified quantum physics have been ground breaking. He quit mathematics because his work was not acknowledged but stolen and incorporated into what we know as quantum physics and string theory. This guy even said the only person he fears going up against intellectually is Witten himself. Everyone else, including this Walmart Tyson version cannot go up against this guy. Am not a bootlicker and I personally don't like this guys attitude but he is, believe it or not, probably the second smartest person alive right now. No cap.

@moonlion7047 I'm going to just acknowledge that everything you said is completely true without independent verification. Being smart in one field even being the best in that field, does not make you knowledgeable about all things and all fields. That seems to be his biggest problem

Sam please research a subject before doing a comment like that. I will assume you had no previous knowledge. These guys are not even close as far as IQ goes. We have had many now surpass even Einstein. It all depends what field these autistic geniuses have. As far as this goes Eric would disintegrate Neil.

Neil DeGrass Tyson is a pseudo-scientist at best. None of the colleagues on his level respect him or dignify him as being legitimate. And ABSOLUTELY NO FKING ONE respects or recognizes him on the actual scientific hierarchy, such as Eric.

The problem with science communicators is that they tend to be dogmatic and double down on their particular take while people doing scientific research have moved on. Richard Dawkins is one such communicator. His take on genes was quickly outdated, yet he never updated his book, for example.

Science propagandist. Who uses his celebrity to lend weight to his opinions on divisive societal issues that are far outside his area of supposed expertise. Opinions that just so happen to line up with his paymasters, much like Bill Nye's.

@@neddanison9202lolwut, wrong. Dawkins take on Genes? Fucking idiotic wording first of all, but Dawkins evolutionary dictations from all of his books to this day are the standard in Biology, the fucking standard, he also has admitted when certain things were wrong and changed them and rewrote entire notes to his books. All the things that you probably think Dawkins got wrong are highly contentious, unfleshed out ideas. I would love to hear just a single of example from you, you can even be vague and I will do the research, because you sir most likely have an ass derived comment.

@@VanMan83 what are you talking about, Genders are apart of science whether you think it is illness or he thinks it is not, it still exists, it is observable. The idea of genders is 100% confirmed in existence, political ideology aside. The fact that there are binary sexes also is scientifically false, there is no such thing as non binary, but there is XY, XX, XXY, X, XYY, and XXXY, the people who have these not so rare chromosonal disorders have nothing to do with gender, this is chromosomal sex. Bill Nye is a smart engineer and amazing science communicator and you are likely a lowly maggot in comparison.

​@@VanMan83I mean there's been some discoveries regarding xy chromosomes and intersex people that kind of changed our perspectives on gender identity

man… this jokes a little played out now…

😂😂😂

Perfect summary 👌

Neil is a token, period.

Haha

But is he wrong about anything? No? Then STFU lol

Like you said, he's an astrophysicist. Like Weinstein said, which doesn't take away anything from Tyson, he isn't a practicing physicist. Weinstein, on the other hand, has made contributions to physics that far outweigh anything the talking head, Tyson, has.

Thank you

@@joshtaylor6038 You are exaggerating. Weinstein has proposed *one* theory that he hasn't yet published in full for peer review. A *draft* of the paper was released with this interview and it has already been criticized as being full of "gaps" that jeopardize the whole of the proposed theory. At this point, he hasn't really contributed much. NDT has authored or co-authored MANY papers in his career.

Good point! He has participated in research, and I think he could again if he wanted to. Sort of irresponsible to pigeon-hole someone like he is doing. All it takes for this to be made untrue is for Neil to sit down and start researching a new topic. I am not even sure it is broadly true now considering the points you've brought up. He is kind of saying that the only true physicists are those who are participating in the frontiers of physics: quantum gravity, dark matter...etc. The fact that none of the physics is confirmed yet and that publications are possible without experimental confirmation, for me, could even be used as a converse argument to what he is saying. The mark of a real physicist is that they research physics that isn't yet real. What a twist of logic!

​@@nothingnewhere6551 Exactly, you have to participate in research and have it accepted and published via peer reviews to have the title Tyson has. This guy's a bozo.

Arrogance ages you. Its the worse thing you can be specially if you are a scientist, if you think you know everything you stop taking different perspectives and that just ages your mind. Since you dont really receive any inputs from other people that could actually be beneficial to your own ideas.

He wasnt always the way he is now. The more famous he got, the more his arrogance came to the forefront of his persona.

He is NOT a practicing scientist. An actual practicing scientist can entertain multiple possibilities at once.

You took a narrative and spinned it he’s saying Neil can’t take risk because if he’s wrong even once weirdos like you are gonna pull his card and say he never really was a scientist stop hating bro Shits bad vibes

​@@Robertmartines I don't think you need to have multiple personality to be a scientist xD. In fact, i think it's the other way around...

In physics you either have done something remarkable by the age of 35-40 or you're never going to do anything remarkable.

Both of them like to demonstrate their superior intellect by dunking on the mentally ill

Neil was never better (or worst) than Eric. They hold different PhDs and they are not researchers and innovator of new ideas. They are more a digester of materials produced by more accomplished scientist and explain it to laymen like you, me and Terrence Howard.

Okay so? Do i have to be a basketball player myself to say joe rogan isnt a basketball player?

@@gvngbvngiggy no, this guy is a hack and an incredibly arrogant person. He goes around claiming to have solved unified theory, to call everyone else stupid and , much like his brother, lacks academic rigour to say the least. So when he talks about Physics and puts people down I get upset at it - especially given he is nothing more than a grubby hedge fund manager - working with Peter Tiel.

@@gvngbvngiggycan you even dunk, bro?

​​@@gvngbvngiggy I don't have anything really against Eric Weinstein, but he is just a master at making himself sound ever so wise and mysterious and especially in saying things that will keep getting him invited on popular podcasts and shows. He is VERY bombastic and grandiose in his speech, but weirdly, nothing he ever says or claims has the grandiosity he ascribes to it. Like "the most scary human being" that's just some mathematician or his newest tale of saying that never in his life met a person that was so clearly a construction like Jeffrey Eppstein and backing it up with the most ridiculous claim that he never met someone less likely to take their life as Jeffrey Epstein. Sorry to bring the whole Epstein thing into it, but NOTHING about Weinstein's hypothesis has a shred of tangible evidence, nevermind the fact that Epstein clearly had means, motive and opportunity to end himself, with extreme emphasis on motive, being a severe case of covert grandiose narcissistic personality disorder who went from philanthropist billionaire to be known worldwide as a pedophile and having no chance to get out of incarceration. Narcissistic personality disorder has the highest suicide rate and the two most important things for a narcissist are reputation and being in control. Anyways, Eric Weinstein is literally a poser, change my mind.

@@kayjay7585he called out string therapy and changes the entire popular thought surrounding it

IF YOU VALUE MOUNTAIN CLIMBING...

But but in Harry Potter

Neil is a great orator.... and probably a mediocre astrophysicist....he would probably be a great astrophysicist teacher, but he basically got everything else wrong coz he doesn't do his homework and tries to be a politician. He got global warming wrong. That's just bullocks All Gore politics w/o any scientific backing.... he then got the vaccine stuff wrong, like almost everything of it and then he went Bill Nye the not so science guy lunatic by trying to justify the woke mental illness about what is a woman. Among many other things btw... I did had respect for him about 15 years ago... meanwhile he lost all of it.

You mean he is willing to think outside of the scientific orthodoxy box?

@@beatonthedonis “earth is flat” I’m a genius that thinks outside of scientific orthodoxy 🤗

​@cjaydustie1867 so stunning and brave!

No you didn’t. I already background checked you and you didn’t even study astrophysics or go to AMNH. God I swear these bots will lie about anything.

@Dylan-gb4ju You wasted what little time you have left to live researching and insulting someone who will never respect or like you, only to be 100% wrong about everything you've assumed (as usual).

​@@Dylan-gb4juDude check out her grammar, she's clearly educated by the way she just fucking cooked you

He's a TV personality. He's not smart enough to do real research.

So you like him cancelled?

@@kogiman when you ignore science as a scientist, you cancel yourself.

So when you disagree with somebody on something you lose all respect for them in your personal life, do you do that?

@@audiofunkdialect Neil is a brilliant guy, no doubt. It's not about disagreements. When a scientist disregards scientific facts, they can no longer be considered such. He lost a lot of followers when speaking on gender fluidity. People can't be both genders because of how they feel on a given day. Crazy talk.

@@josephmango4628 dude I don’t understand transgender ideology I have no fucking clue I’m a straight male I don’t know what that feels like. I don’t know if all of them have legitimate feelings like that but I’m sure some people do we can be born with physical disfigurement you don’t think our brains can be a little off that probably is what is going on here. and I’m not trying to say they have mental in capacity. I’m saying that something like sexuality might be way different for some people you and I cannot put ourselves in their situation so I think it’s stupid to generalize in these situation.

Bill nye never said he was a scientist he is a science communicators and a very good one. The idea was that anyone can do science you haters are missing the whole point. Gonna tell me carl Sagan wasn’t a practicing scientists Because he wrote books and did a tv show. NDT is a physicist he had a PhD and he did his thesis.

@@holyguy2940 Jill Biden has a PhD, too, meaning in your world that she's as smart as Neil.

So, other than that, he's great, right? Lol

​@drmantistoboggan2870 his views on religion are ignorant and reddit tier cringe and shows a complete lack of history

​@@drmantistoboggan2870Everything outside of his specialty. For example, he’s ignorant of the most simple biological facts about the differences between men and women. I’ve noticed that many scientists speak with overconfidence about topics outside of their specialty. Usually philosophical topics, like the existence of objective morality or that of God.

Because Neil DeGrasse Tyson is ultra arrogant

Because he's with the basketball people

omg Das so races

Because he comes off as arrogant and egocentric

Because no amount of education can compensate for his personality

If you think about it, Weinstein is saying every GREAT physicist has to think outside the box. That definition basically means the vast majority of physicists teaching physics, say, at universities (Who aren't breaking rules to test the boundaries of science) all fall under this category)! Strictly speaking, I believe that's true. Now, had Weinstein used this analogy, he would have made the same point without coming off as petty or jealous towards an individual... but for some reason he felt he had to single out NDT to make his point. Sorry, but that says more about Weinstein than NDT.

​@@Finians_Mancavehe stated a fact pretty objectively. I think you're the jealous one here in Weinstein, it says more about you really.

@@missionpupa Weinstein has a PhD from Harvard in Physics who makes a living directing hedge funds and running a podcast. So he's not even a physicist. Your deflection at me was idiotic because I KNOW I'm not as smart as these guys, and openly admit it! Maybe you don't know what the word "jealous" actually means...

​@@Finians_Mancaveme too felt he is jealous of NDT. NDT has given me great knowledge in physics. He makes it easy for the layman to understand basic physics. And his excitement is contagious. Of course others in the scienctific community not as popular or successful will be jealous. As he is a very good orator. NDT is not that revolutionary out of the box scientist. So what, his videos are good for me.

Interruptor-in-Chief! that's a great title that actually depicts this horse's A§§ named NDT

Lol

"...at a practicing level" is what he said. Essentially, he's a celebrity and too worried about his celebrity and image to go into unexplored territory. A fear of 'looking dumb' or 'crazy', he won't break any new ground. Instead he sits on Twitter and explains why something that happened in a movie wasn't physically accurate. Flexing degrees doesn't tell the story of a person. Eric gave him credit for intelligence. But he won't explore and advance the field.

​@ultrameticulous when did he say he was worried about going into unexplored territory?? What are you even talking about. No one expects Tyson to be in some NASA lab doing some nerdy experiments. Discoveries are no longer done by individuals.

I can get a covert organisation to give me one of them background things too.

@@ziggyfreud5357 "them background things"... You're clearly not even intelligent enough to do that.

@@mrt445 cheers 🍻 cobba 👍

Feynman was also a practising physicist, who helped develop quantum electrodynamics and the least action principle. NDT is a brilliant guy, but doesn't actually carry out any physics research. He is purely a communicator of science. It's not an insult, since they ultimately help inspire the next generation of physicists.

Feynman, who is one of the very few people that have radically shaped my thinking on various matters even though I'm of a different culture (I'm an Indian) especially when I myself was aspiring to be a physicist (now a comp sci engineer), was a special personality in terms of communication , pedagogy and actual practice in and even around his field like investigating Space Shuttle Challenger accident. There is no comparison with NDT.

Feynman was a quackhead that's for sure read his biography

These are all gatekeepers. Advancement in physics has been stifled because of their lies. Vortex Mechanics were replacing wave mechanics in German textbooks before WW2. Eddington 1919 was debunked by Charles Poor in 1930. Einstein admitted Dayton Miller disproved Special Relativity in 1925! None of these people are telling the true history of scientific suppression in the name of state secrecy.

This is the man who learned Spanish so he could give a speech at a Brazilian university... Let that sink in.

In other words, just an actor.

Not remotely. Neil is one of the greatest sciftific promoters and communicators of our lifetimes. Literally billions of people have listened to him talk about high level sciftific concepts. Just because he is not a researcher doesn’t mean he is any less gifted at what he does and all he ever claims to be. Whereas Segal claims to have invented stuff and be some legend which Neil never ever claims.

There are lots of black and white thinkers like you and johnblaesel in the comment. On behalf of humanity, I hope your kind never get into the scientific field.

I don't get why people keep saying stuff like this, he's a real Astrophysicist who has co-written real, peer reviewed papers.

Not true. Segal knows a little martial arts. He taught Aderson Silva (ex UFC champ) how to throw a front kick to the chin that's difficult to see coming.

If that's true, then get em

He speaks for himself

Not true he solved the problems of the universe in a youtube video.

Truth

So you have to be a practicing physicist in order to speak for them? It's not like he is talking about practiced science in this clip. He's talking about approach which isn't science.

😂😂😂

Lmaooo 😂

Affirmative action hire.

Well, think about it! It’s counterintuitive. Why close your eyes when it’s already dark out? Is it the darkness that makes us sleep? Yes and no. Ever sleep on a nice afternoon under the sun. It’s not the darkness that causes us to sleep, it’s because you’re tired. Okay so what, does that have to with closing your eyes? Well, you’re tired so you don’t want to move your eyelid muscles. No. Eyelids are pretty light. You see, there was this guy in the nineteen eighties who figured this out and you wanna know why you close your eyes at night? Dust. He did one of those clock work orange machines on people and they all slept. Regular dreams like people always have. However, in the morning everyone had pain in their eyes and saw a bunch of little specks. You know how sometimes you see little specks in your eyes? Those are dead skin cells from your eyes. He figures out that those are the same thing, on they’re coming from the air around us. That’s what dust is! Dead skin! You close your eyes because of dead skin, Joe!

Part of his education was at Columbia and Columbia for a long time, was the hot bed of CIA undercover education. Though, that has shifted some to John Hopkins in more recent times, because Columbia got called out on it.

​@@justinw1765And nothing there is a fact, just another convenient narrative. You know nothing.

@@73ajd1 Sure, Tuskagee experiments were a narrative, too. Until they weren't.

That would be Bill Nye.

I think the argument is that he only understands known physics and is at a level where he will never make any breakthroughs.. but your response here was definitely correct

That’s one perspective. Another one is that he turns people off by perpetuating the stereotype of the smug know it all who has to constantly dominate the conversation and stroke his own ego. I agree though.. His target audience isn’t people who have a genuine interest in science. It’s the crowd who say they’re “really into science” because they watch Big Bang Theory and bought a NASA shirt at Target.

Neil is indeed an Astrophysicist, he's not like Dr. Phil in the sense that Dr. Phil's show gives him the moniker Dr. despite him not being a medical doctor, Neil is a real Astrophysicist who has performed Astrophysics research. Even so, Dr. Phil does indeed have a doctorate in clinical psychology. He's not a medical doctor, but he's certainly no stranger to the medical field.

@@alphasuperior100 Neil has a PhD in astrophysics, he climbed up the ladder, and then just sat there, his ability to communicate science is what maintains his position, and not his ability to perform as a scientist.

He doesn't operate as a clinical psychologist, because he legally can't (you need the license to diagnose), but his show is about communicating from a clinical psychology perspective.

@@ShifuCareaga And are those paradigms you're referring to Astrophysics or Physics paradigms? Or irrelevant shit about gender politics or social issues? Every time I've seen Neil talk about physics it has been very accurate when accounting for the fact that he's talking to lay people.

@@FTLGuillotine Astrophysics. I specifically do not have any tolerance for woke studies that wouldn't even be worth mentioning. I recommend you read up on the crisis in cosmology. Specifically you should know there are foundational issues in standard model cosmology and astrophysics... Numerous catastrophic failures in theories as well as empirical failures and obvious philosophical blips. People like Neil cover these issues up with a lot of fancy science talk and "teaching"... But if pressed into a corner he will admit the facts are flimsy and unsupportive of large amounts of claims. Some of the issues are so bad it is practically fraud they are taught let alone misattributed or misinformed to a willing, paying populace. Criminal.

​@@FTLGuillotineYou need to get off yt for a while if you are actually defending that guy. He is so full of shit.

Knowledgeable and Intelligent are two different things. You can know everything in a text book which makes you as knowledgeable as that text book. If you don’t understand how to apply that knowledge, you’re not very intelligent.

@@josephcoon5809 Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Intelligence is knowing not to put it into a fruit salad.

@@roy8200 That's just preference.

Nah, you don't know how the GR model was created. Before of that you had the model of Special Relativity which solved MANY problems in physics (most of which were already proven to be truth) The thing was already in the air, so it was accepted easily. GR is a generalization of that, so Einstein's reputation was already established by the time he published his paper (there were more people trying to find that generalization) So... even conformist scientists accepted GR rather fast.

Not "incredibly intelligent". I would say "fairly intelligent". I know many, including myself, who are more intelligent.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the Michael Eric Dyson of science.

Well put.

I get that Neil is a quack, but Cosmos is still my shit.

​@andrewjenkinson8948 Probobly. All these guys are sniveling little morons who know a lot of jargon. People bow down because they have the lab coat and credentials but in reality their intrest in science is mostly just about ego stroking over the scientists title and wanting to be the smartest guy in the room. That's why they're always sh!tting on eachother over highly theoretical topics that in reality have no affect on anyone's day to day life.

Eh, he's just not that smart -- nobody needs to know his opinion on anything.

​@@hxhdfjifzirstc894They shouldn't care anyways. This idea that linguists, physicists, or scientists in general have any authority on matters outside their field or neighboring fields is nonsense and just modern idolatry filling the hole left by religion. Philosophers themselves have no actual authority or related experience to topics such as politics. Neither do "political scientists/philosophers", ironically. I'd trust the average person's opinion much more on commentary and proposed solutions to every day problems than some isolated academic. I also guarantee you, if you ran a study comparing the effectiveness of certain groups at making meaningful improvements to general society through governing, the condition that someone has attained a higher educational degree at best shows no correlation, and likely correlates highly negatively. This should be intuitive due to this condition correlating to an extreme divergence in lifestyle and experiences from the common person. The Soviet Union is what you get when scholars and scientists attempt to form a new governmental system from scratch. A broken, overly idealistic, and poorly executed set of fundamental ideas for a society, dressed up as a utopia, that isn't efficient at doing anything important to the common man but, obviously, extremely efficient at academic pursuits, which inevitably descends into authoritarian autocracy the moment the people realize that their smart leaders will never prioritize anything but their own interests. The irony of the Soviet Union proclaiming itself as a "government of the workers", is likely the greatest in all of history. There were many founding fathers that were scholars, but their ranks were filled primarily by somewhat intellectually homely people. The ratios of these groups helped renormalize and transform the academic's idealistic fantasies into effective governmental systems for the general populace, at least to a more sufficient extent than the other systems of the time. Even then, some detrimental idealisms still made it through the filter, and it took literal centuries for them to be removed. With their existence and uprooting nearly always causing mass upheaval and suffering in the common man's life. The best example of this includes such wonderful ideas as slavery (yes, this was primarily supported and practiced by the rich intellectuals like Jefferson), which caused the bloodiest conflict in the nation's history. Remember, even Lincoln, a highly educated Lawyer, didn't want to free the slaves because he thought they were equal, he wanted to free them because he saw the existence of slavery as incompatible with the ideas and future of America. He expressed several times that he thought blacks could not exist in American society, and that it would be necessary to relocate them back to Africa.

Plagiarist

Oh the irony there feckboy

I dont think it helps you to say he willfully ignorant or something akin to a easy to fix human flaw of arrogance, the guy is a stereotypical savant genius with less processing dedicated to mastrubation

you look like a wendy eater

DeGrasse Tyson taught astrophysics at university level and researched it at post-doc level. You're a clown who doesn't know what they're talking about.

And you are the next assistant manager at McD's, at best

@TwilightxKnight13 Obviously, you can't tell the difference between education and true intelligence, Neil has been educating himself for many, many years, yet true still remains elusive to the poor old bugger. If you had any intelligent's you'd know this and refrain from such Neanderthal statements. 🤣 🤣 🤣

@TwilightxKnight13 Well, at least I can actually spell MacDonalds, and if you even had half a brain, you would realise I'm right. Having an education and being intelligent Are two totally different things. And by the sounds of it you lack both. 🤣

Try telling that to a climate alarmist or Covidian…

​@@josephcoon5809 for real😂 how many times did we hear on the news "the science is settled"

@@piggyslayer1999 What’s worse, when I argued with the zealots who regurgitated that line, they would send me academic papers that used words like “suggests” and “leads us to believe” in the summaries. Religion is never the problem. Zealotry is the problem, and religion isn’t the only ideology that has mindless zealots.

Until money enters the equation

​@@merleshand2442yeah and the money is with the oil lobbyist

😂 Carl Sagan was awesome IMO I don't remember him being as obnoxious as NDT or even arrogant at all but maybe I only watched him narrate and not his real self.

I met Sagan once and he came off as the most arrogant person I've ever met..total jerk.

He's not a great physicist, and his demeanor spoils whatever sharing skills he might have once had.

Neil fanboy identified

@@cmonman3639 Whether or not someone likes him doesn't change the logic.

@@MikeB-ng3ol Neil deGrasse Tyson is an absolute idiot who says men can become women. Great science right there.

@@cmonman3639 I'm not a fan of Neil, but Eric is an annoying podcast techbro that believes himself to be smarter than he is. If you took all the hundreds of millions of hours of podcast techbros yammering on about something you might get 15 minutes of worthwhile content.

@Gee-xb7rt Huh, what you described is exactly how I feel about Neil; the guy just talks to seem smart and hear his own voice lmfao. Then again I don’t watch many podcasts because most all of them are just listening to some random guy blab about some pointless crap. I definitely have time for it, but not the patience to wait for them to get to the point hahaha.

I have a very, very low opinion of DeGrasse-Tyson, and a much lower opinion of Nye.

He’s not. He’s an actual astrophysicist. He has the education, he’s done the work, he’s published well respected peer reviewed research. You have been brainwashed if you don’t know this.

@@chaospet Recently? Has he published recently? And what was it that was published? Is it modern, relevant, and groundbreaking, or just a mundane statistical analysis of someone else's work? What has he created? What has he discovered? Educate me, please.

Oh stop it! He is no one to stop anything!! Don’t make shit up! He is an affirmative action scientist who will never give ANY REAL science to modern physics! He knows this and now you know it!!!!!please!

Maybe you watched too much of him? Maybe cut back on the Internet thing for a while?

Yea he once said phylosophy is a waste of time to study......that science had all the major ideas locked in

@@wyldeyouth cool idea bro

That he gets in the way of anything is ridiculous. He is not involved in any research, budget approval, regulation or any other influence in science. He is an educator and a communicator. He learns and he shares. This comment makes me feel you think YT comments are real scientific research.

Can't say for certain, but I would not be surprised if he was, or could be, diagnosed as being on the narcissistic personality disorder spectrum.

I feel like trying to market the things he talks about is definitely not a bad thing though.

​@@iandevine3063 Like getting the heart attack shot? Yeah great 😂

Let's compare your academic credentials vs his, then you can say that stupid comment.

@@MrNH718 That's the crazy part. These guys don't even have the fundamental knowledge of the thing they're criticizing Neil for, yet they're attacking him because they thought this short was about Weinstein dissing Neil

He's a sophist, not a very good one either.
