Listen BIGOT, cars are heteronormative!!! Why can’t you gas them in another way than a penis/vagina analogue??!??? Why can’t you fill it with a lady dick?!!!!!!! BILL NYE HAS IMPORTANT WORK TO DO TO MAKE CARS TRANS FRIENDLY Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Because new cars are no more yours than the music you stream off of spotify or the games you access via steam. Junk computer crap that is impossible to repair on your own and probably able to be remote accessed but that's speculation.
I wonder if someday cars will rat you out to the cops if you speed or drive erratically, perhaps through contacting police directly or perhaps some kind of system similar to an airplane's black box where law enforcement or insurance agencies can plug in and see how you were driving.
This is a well documented problem in every scientific field. Highly trained specialists thinking they are geniuses in every area. Einstein's political ideas were naive at best. Newton spent his life chasing alchemy after basically inventing physics.
There have been a couple exceptions. Feynman for example did a lot of things outside his field just by applying some disciplined thinking.
I wouldn't go so far as to say "stay in your lane" to these guys, since they have opinions just like the rest of us, but it's important to remember that outside their fields of expertise they are just regular dudes with opinions, like all of us.
all rocket scientist kind of suck ass though. Musk rapes their brains without ever attending one class. Lands a reusable rocket backwards. Just close the Universities out of embarrassment. Imagine calling yourself a "rocket scientist" and someone says Elon near you. Melting must occur.
That's literally all they know. They stare through little lenses at points of light that emanated millions of years ago. Then look at newspapers from the wrong end of the same telescope and act like they can glean what's going on.
They really should stay in their lane. When these people start talking about politics for example, you know they should shut up and stick with the astrophysics, at least in professional capacity, they can have opinions like everyone else but I don’t see medical doctors or neurosurgeons thinking they know about other fields.
Right? Ever notice his field will state a "fact" with absolute authority and certainty. They'll ridicule anyone who disagrees. And then 5 years latter they find out they were completely wrong, state a new "fact" and start the process all over again.
I mean, the best equation they've come up with says half the universe can't be measured or interacted with in any way (dark matter/energy) and they can't figure out how one of the four fundamental forces works (gravity). And they got no idea why expansion is speeding up instead of slowing down.
What a bunch of clowns. These people are only important because of their image. We need to take a hard look at how we fund our sciences and figure out a way to pay for results and not just research. It seems like too much money is going toward research that only exists to keep the grants coming in instead of actually making progress.
Yeah, the whole, dark matter and dark energy can't be measured or observed in any way is highly questionable. If their theories need all that to work, I think the problem is with the theories.
Except the presence of dark matter and energy emerges purely from observation (there are massive pockets of something pulling on stars that we cannot detect in any way). So it’s not just something that comes out of pure theory. It’s wrong to say dark energy and matter are not observed—but as far as we can tell they only interact through gravitational force
They observe inconsistencies because they only consider gravity at those distances. there is another force that operates on the same distances as gravity, is vastly more powerful, is strongly implicated to be present in massive amounts, and is utterly ignored by the mainstream. Instead they invent entirely new types of matter to plug the holes in the theories.
I figured observed was not the best word. Dark energy, and matter, if I understand correctly, are only indirectly observed. My concern is that in order for our theories of gravity and such to work, we need dark matter and energy. Or, galaxies would pretty much spin away their stars. Which is why I have questions about the validity of our current models.
If something fundamental doesn't make sense, it probably doesn't make sense.
Remember, at one time, we assumed the orbits of planets had little loop-de-loops in them, which required a huge number of theoretical things, because we had a flawed base assumption of geocentricity. Phlogustion is another one, we thought the universe was cooling down at some fantastical rate, but then counteracted by some inner flame, not so much.
At its core, physics is "simple". In the same regard that fundamentally at its core, the internet is a pile of 0's and 1's. Little, basic, reasonable rules, which add up together to make complex existence.
But models predicted planets in our solar systems, we knew orbits didn't make sense, and so measured out reasonable assumptions of planets and even comets, based on heuristic indirect observation. Dark Matter is a placeholder, or it should be, on par with "gravity well sphere somewhere way out near the Kupier Belt" placeheld exoplanets.
The thing is, that podcast wasn't particularly good, but I think the one before it was a lot better, and the irony is it completely contradicts the worldview he's trying to show here. In that podcast, he details how you need to give credit to Christian institutions of the past for promoting a lot of the science that he loves to practice and study today. He also has rants saying that we need to appreciate Columbus for the fact that he did unite every single section of the world when they used to be cut off by oceans. He knows that there is good to Western civilization. This tweet is just a direct contradiction to something that he flat out knows to be wrong, he is pandering to Twitter, which makes it even more disturbing because now he's chasing likes over the truth.
Michio Kaku is Neil Degrasse's Asian clone. They're both vapid mouthpieces who take 3000 words to teach absolutely nothing. They just sit there jerking themselves all day over how many meaningless words they can string together. And for "science popularizers" they're both incredibly socially inept and do nothing but speak to their own Reddit choir. Who puts these out-of-touch nothings in front of cameras?
Yep, he went on Joe Rogan's podcast and just kept interrupting every 5 seconds. Then when Joe said something he didn't like, he just ignored his opinion and went on like rants about multiple things and why everyone else is wrong. He's really an annoying guy when you watch his own podcast too. I rate him, like Pokimane, a 2/10.
I read in places like Saudi Arabia they have actual slaves. They trick people from poorer countries like Bangladesh or the Philippines to come over on work visas then take their passports, force them to work for free and beat them if they complain.
Yes. Slavery is still in place in a lot of the world. There are actual real-life slaves in the US too but they tend not to be black so they "don't really count".
Wait, what is wrong with his statement of "The left often depend on us assuming the rational view of what they're saying rather than the weird distortions they actually mean."
That seems pretty clear and exactly what I think happens a lot of the times when "numbers" are reported.
I think modern includes human trafficking estimates too...but to be fair that falls in the same wheelhouse as big tech interns and caters to our politicians too apparently.
Let me stop you right there, pede. There is no such thing as a job that nobody wants to do. If the job is dangerous or uncomfortable, and nobody is signing up, the logical next move would be to increase the compensation. But when you allow a massive unchecked influx of uneducated, unskilled people, it becomes a race to the bottom for wages.
I can't tell you how many times I've had this conversation with idiot lefties. Complaining about wage stagnation while at the same time advocating for open borders is like standing in a sauna with a jacket on and complaining it's hot.
To be fair, sometimes there are not enough jobs to accommodate the available work force. This is why we shouldn't be letting millions of people from other countries flood our country.
There's been a huge problem of people rewriting history and categorizing white people with some African ancestry as "black." Even if they looked white and were accepted as white by their local communities.
Wonder if this is the beginning of how they write white people out of their own history...like making Anne Boleyn black.
Ethiopia was invaded by Italy during World War 2. The people of the nation, led by their last emperor, Haile Selassie, fought long and hard to free themselves.
Then the Soviets rolled in and, as part of our "arrangement" with the Commies, claimed Ethiopia for their own. Murdered the emperor and buried him under a barracks, outlawed the Orthodox Church, and drove what remained of the nation's economy into the dirt.
They are STILL trying to recover from what was done to them for decades, so please excuse them for being a former-Communist-by-force shithole.
Britain and America were the first countries to even consider abolishing slavery and then used their blood and treasure to do it.
Today they get endless shit for slavery while no one says a word about the much longer running Islamic slave trade.
I think it's because leftists know Turks and Arabs don't have Christian guilt-complex and would just tell them to fuck off if they asked for reparations.
When you realize that both sides of the civil war were white supremacists, the only reason they hate the confederate flag versus the american flag is that it stood for states rights.
Whether you fly the american flag or the rebel flag, you are espousing white supremacy. because that what that stands for. You’re just picking between federation or confederacy. And judging by how the federal has gone the past 160 years, I would choose confederacy.
The guy is the poster boy to the appeal to false authority fallacy. When I want an opinion about general relativity, I'll listen to him. My doctor doesnt have a better political opinion about Mesopotamian culture than my plumber does just because the former has a medical degree. Biggest sign of a hack imo. Acting like an expert in one specific field makes you an authority on something unrelated.
It's because it's the idea of credibility. They've done tonnes of studies on people and find that if someone wears a uniform, people perceive them to be trustworthy and correct even when they say the wrong thing. On top of that if you're at the top of one field or well known in that field, people think you're well versed on other topics too.
For instance, put a lab coat on some idiot and dress them up and make them look clean and then get an audience, then get the lab coat guy to say "The sky is the color red for x and y reason", then watch as people in the audience believe it and retell the lie to people later on. Then watch if you get three or four people in lab coats to do it to reinforce the lie and suddenly everyone in the audience believes it despite their brains seeing a blue sky moments later.
It's pretty fucked but thats how the climate change lie spreads. They get some shills, dress them up or find the right people, get them to tell the lie, find more "scientists" to reinforce the lie and then say "the consensus from scientists is that climate change will kill us in 20 years" (i.e find scientists in some other field like computer science or mathematics to repeat the lie, notice the vague meaning of "scientists", does that mean climate scientists or chemical scientists? Or does it really mean a marine biologist or computer scientist? Either way, just say "Scientists" and be vague and suddenly it's a "consensus amongst scientists") and then teach it in schools to reinforce the belief in children to cement the idea in future generations, wait and repeat this for 20 years and then find a "new discovery" or change the scientific idea as to why said event, in this instance climate change, has not happened but have enough people repeat the new lie and there ya go. You just proliferated a complete lie, but had enough credibility behind it to keep it around. I also forgot, as soon as anyone comes out and says anything to reject the claim, they slam them as a kook or some crazy individual who's not fully informed or not an actual scientist. Think about Bob Lazar and his claims about Area S4, everyone was saying he was a kook and that he was makin stuff up but so much of what he has said has come true like the hand scanners or S4 existing or him working at S4 and going to college at MIT or that the U.S Government has made contact with alien life or at the very least knows of their existence.
It's the same reason the new "ice age" didn't happen when 50 years ago they were saying it all day long how it was going to doom us. Or how we never ran out of oil when the oil crisis happened in the 70's, despite them saying there's not enough oil to last humanity for decades to come. Just straight up lie repeated by "credible" people can fool the logical part of your brain, because you think "I'm not a scientist, so I guess they're just right and know what they're talking about".
Can I just say that this from the other side is kind of hilarious though. People watch movies and shit where there is a "smart guy" who knows everything and just assume that's a real thing.
I'll be sitting around with my gym buddies and we're talking about something and someone will turn to me and ask a technical question like "why do brownouts affect certain areas in the grid and not others?" and i'm like... wait why the fuck do you expect me to know that? I'm a chemist not a civil engineer.
It's like when Bill Nye talks about Science, he's not a scientist, he's a mechanical engineer. So why am I listening to him about gender, biology, psychology and sexuality? I'm not.
You would think someone who was more intelligent, would also come with more skepticism and humility.
People who are experts in their field often don’t think they know all that much about their own field, let alone fields they don’t hold any credentials for.
When you know a lot about your own field, you learn new stuff every day... and you know that never ends
why anyone would care what LeBron has to say outside of the subject of putting a ball through a hoop is beyond me
remember when Cardi B "interviewed" Biden?
really, anyone from the Film Actors Guild
I can legitimately enjoy the product from the area of expertise from many of these otherwise imbeciles, including NDT (although, not including Cardi B), but really don't give a shit otherwise, and the world would be a better place if people didn't falsely idolize as much as they do
A fellow Team America fan I see. (the actual group is Screen Actor' Guild)
Also, did you know that Reagan was president of it before his presidential run?
He's not even good in his field of study. He flunked out of grad school, then got into another program where he only got his Ph.D because his professors felt bad for him and let him get their coffee at the observatory, listing him as 34th author on their paper for his thesis. He would be working at Autozone if it weren't for affirmative action and white guilt.
Jesus fucking Christ! I can't believe even conservatives believe he is a real scientist. What the fuck. You guys should know better. He only barely passed his degree then they put him straight into managing a planetarium because he was black and they wanted to give him a job but he wasn't capable of doing actual science.
Whenever liberals present you with someone calling themselves an "expert"m they aren't. Stop falling for this.
Exactly. Native Americans were basically stone age people when Columbus landed. History is full of examples where a higher tech society conquered a lower tech one.
Neil also forgot that before Europeans were involved in colonization and imperialism, they were at each other's throats for millennia squabbling over land and resources. They didn't give a wet shit that their enemy had similar skin tones. Literally the worst two wars in the history of our species happened 100 and 80 years ago between Europeans LOL. Tribalism is all of our history. The victor is all that matters. It's a fkn miracle any Celt even made it to the 19th century, much less that they became a significant chunk of the commonwealth nations. Even people here are ignorant to the fact that the irish and italians were treated as subhuman for a long, long time.
I say this to people all the time who talk about this shit.
White people have killed more white people than any other race up until the Cold War. The idea that while people are some untied race is just historical ignorance.
If anything, the US is the first example of Europeans being able to live together in relative harmony.
"History is full of examples where a higher tech society conquered a lower tech one."
I would point out the impact of lower tech ones on higher tech as well. There is exchange of peoples in every case. For example, Columbus ships returned to introduce syphilis to Europe. Rampaged through wealthy and poor alike. Wealthy elite class afflicted by the disease took the fashion of wearing wigs to cover for hair loss, trending the use of wigs in high-society. The Puritan movement emerged as a response to what it saw as degeneracy styling itself as a way of life to avoid syphilis and related afflictions. The long lasting influence of these things are traced back to the impact Native Americans sent home with Columbus men.
Worth observing that when Columbus was funded for his voyage everyone assumed it was a suicide mission. He couldn't recruit men for his ship by usual means. They issued reduced sentences to criminals who would take on the voyage, literally staffed those trips by the incarcerated. Americans venerated Columbus as folk-hero for the spirit of attempting something at great personal risk that might result in advancing human knowledge, the romanticized fictional account is what became folk-hero for a value that appealed to frontiers people in the new land. But again. He was staffed by criminals. Hence mutinies. Hence criminals acting like criminals while exploring, which the demoralizing communists find so convenient to turn ignorance into angry resentments. There's sharp divide between the fictionalized folk-hero used to exemplify an American value, and the narrow focus on brutal historic reality. Propagandists run wild.
Play up the shared values, common folk-lore, paint an image of what it is to be part of that tribe and convince most kids to buy into it. Traditionally all states were ethnostates of a shared people and history. America is unique in being a society of many different ethnicities without shared cultural traditions or history. In 1800s to early 1900s a purposeful history was collected to try and knit together the differing people living here. They constructed folk-heroes that appealed to the cultures on the frontier and spoke to values held in high-regard in America that distinguished it from other places of the world. This is where you get romanticized folk-hero versions of figures like Columbus (who convey value of exploration at great personal risk for the potential of new discovery) that differs from their historic realities (not the point).
In other countries their education focuses on brainwashing for their local lore. Any coverage of outside nations often painted in a negative light.
Since the 1960's the door was opened boosting immigration into America but without plan to knit those newcomers into the existing system of shared folk-lore and values. The left harped and hammered on the differences and no need for assimilating different peoples into one shared vision. Today we're seeing inversion where the worst traits of America as perceived by those raised outside of America are the central seed of their proposed resent filled folk-lore for the country. It's a system designed to destroy social cohesion. They've no interest in building a lasting society.
"Communist bandit" really is an apt description of the net behavior. Loot the village and move on when there's nothing left to loot.
Meh, the Native Americans were in many ways healthier and more fit than the first wave of European colonists. Native American bows were not really all that inferior to muskets, if at all, because they could fire them more rapidly and accurately, with about the same range. The main reason the Native Americans got conquered was smallpox. It decimated 90-95% of the Native Americans and eliminated entire tribes and nations.
The Comanches took the foreign horse and mastered it, then became better than any other culture on Earth with it. They and their bows and horses dominated the southwest for 150 years in the face of colonization. Fun fact, they were finally brought down because the colt revolver evened the playing field with their bows.
Exactly and why the Vikings were decimated by the Native Americans 500 year earlier, when they landed in North America.
Had smallpox not decimated the population, there is a high chance the Natives would eventually have either fought back significantly or created their own united nation, that would have prevented a creation of an American state from East to West of the north American continent
The rapidly learnt to use the horse that was re-introduced into North America by the Spanish colonists and had mastered its use within a few decades, so much so that we don't even think of the idea of a Native riding a horse and firing arrows from atop it is anything peculiar.
The idea that they would not have been able to adapt to the changes coming is absurd.
The indians didn't want to create a nation. Their civilization was less advanced than Sub-saharan ones. If the people never settle down in one spot, it is impossible for Science and thus society to evolve. Indians had no interest in contributing to civilization only to hunt. Horses just happened to make that easier. Perhaps they could have posed some sort of meaningful civilizations but never would they have banded together to stop the Americans. Not all 574 tribes or anywhere close.
They would have suffered an immense economic/cultural loss. Just like how all the other countries speak English and we don't have to learn any of their languages to get by.
People complaining about this type of history is literally the same thing as crying because the person who trained harder than you beat you in the race.
I am damned proud of my ancestor's ability to conquer the world and TBH, if I wasn't of European decent I would be jealous of them.
Many civilizations couldn't build a boat and they bitch at europeans for building boats...Might is Right.
And btw everyone thinks he’s such a smart guy because he’s black AND an astrophysicist? Isn’t that just positive racism of low expectations? There’s literally thousands of scientists and engineers over at SpaceX that could run circles around this asshole.
Tyson ain't what he's cracked up to be; he's actually quite dense and nauseating. Just a media creation. If you can catch the clip of him on NPR's 'Wait wait don't tell me' radio show, Tyson is really a dope.
If they'd been able to manage it, they'd have killed every male, enslaved every woman, and stolen every child of the European Tribe. Exactly the same thing they did to each other for tens of thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
hell, the Navajo of the US Southwest were cannibals, and if you want to go a bit farther south what killed off the Maya was industrial scale self-sacrifice. When their crops started dying after a number of dry years they killed their children as offerings to their gods, and when that didn't work they didn't STOP killing, but doubled down and sacrificed MORE. And then more again, and more again, until there weren't enough people left alive to support the infrastructure of their cities and they drifted back into the jungle. The piles of human hearts filled swimming pool sized pits.
Peaceful
LOL
The fun part? Ask random people on the street today, and they'll wax poetic about how American Indians are gentle, "at one with Nature", and have "great wisdom."
Fuck. I've seen the aftermath of Apaches who locked their tribal enemies in cage trucks intended for animal transport, soaked them with gasoline, and lit it.
Also the 'one with nature' trope, so ridiculous. Plains Indians devastated vegetation and many tribes' hunting practice was to drive a whole herd down a cliff. To salvage 1-3 beasts.
i dont want to see one more damn indian exhibit on the smiths onion museams website. i'm sick of it and i only saw it today for the first time. keep our money for real americans....not for misinformation. we played cowbosy and indians as kids. guess what. i was the cowboy.!!
Sorry but half of what you said literally is European/white man making his own history and you believing it. Fuck even your years are off "historically" by a shit ton.. our "known" history of the native Americans was all burned and destroyed or locked up in the Vatican, or even melted back down into spanish ingots... Or "known" history of native americans MIGHT go back to the 1400s not "tens of thousands of years".
They multiple written languages... Like saying Egypt has no writings... They're called hieroglyphics... Also had a written language made from knotting fabrics. Fuck, even in the north the Cherokees had a written language with symbols representing spoken syllables. Dude do some research before you attempt to troll.
Wiki says the Cherokee symbols were made in the 1810's 1820's. After Europeans arrived if that wasn't obvious. I've seen street signs on Canadian reserves in whatever language they speak but using Roman alphabet characters. School me more on this rich written history.
He was using Cherokees as an extreme. To be fair, the North American Indians didn't really write at that allotted time frame. However, the central American and South Americans did. The Azecs, Mayans, and Olmec had ruins that went back thousands of years.
I do appreciate u/SomaMinded 's emphasis, however. It's easy just to dismiss those cultures out of hand when the other side overly glorifies them. I'm not saying the Native Americans are perfect, but we should strive to be fair in our assessments (and not clump together a diverse group of peoples into one amalgomous monster defined only by its negatives), which I think Soma is on the right track to doing.
This is the original problem lumping them altogether strips them of their uniqueness and sets them up to be dismissed out of hand. A convenient trick to obliterate culture and replace it with one of your choosing. You and Soma are correct. These things are not simple at all.
Also never said "rich" history, and good to know about the knot shit. They also supposedly had one of if not the most advanced understanding of astrology at the time. Wouldn't this require some time of advanced written system to aquire?
Real thought and question .. my bad attacking, and thanks for the info 👍
Neil just diluted all of humanity into 6 words not just "white colonialism"....tbh...humanity has always been about conquering and taking...aka... to the victor go the spoils. Also attaching modern views on progressivism and civil rights to a era hundreds of years ago is pretty fucking dumb. The world is a much different place now.
Europe was better. Now Western nations systematically destroy their own demographics and cultures via immigration aka invasion. Guess we weren't that great in the end, eh?
Let me spot him his witty history lesson. The irony is completely lost on him. Without that specific "flavor" of conquest (colonialism) it's safe to say he wouldn't be a prominent scientist in any field. Double the irony points if he was a "affirmative action" or some other "diversity" program for admission into college or other parts if academia or the workforce, but maybe he got to where he is at all on 100% merit.
He's such an idiot, people with such a myopic view on history are the worst kind of people.. Is this what the Black man in Africa said to the other Black men in Africa that they willingly enslaved to sell off to make a profit?
He's so fucking stupid that he once lectured college students on why God is dumb for putting an organ ( penis) next to where you poop . And every idiot laughed.
Yet here I was thinking to myself where else would God put the penis? Maybe God should have put his on his forehead ?
The man is a hypocrite just like every one else. And it's getting truly insufferable to see all of these evil people still breathing air.
There is a lot about the human body that could be designed much better, indicating that if it did have an intelligent designer, he didn't do such a great job.
Why do have an appendix? It serves no purpose and appendicitis was a death sentence before treatment was discovered.
Thousands of people die every year from choking on food or water. If the passage to the lungs and stomach were completely separate, like in dolphins, then this would never happen. Poor design.
Not to mention the endless amount of physical problems people can have throughout their life.
Yeah, but the "design" in question, if intelligent, doesn't have to have as its goal the health of the human. We design all sorts of products with obvious inefficiencies and flaws that are nonetheless acceptable in context.
A design can just be "good enough" especially when that design can draft it's own upgrades.
Lol appendix is an immune booster for kids. Everyone knows that. And yes it if burst you died but so did anyone who got a cold and didn't treat it. Doesn't mean the design is bad means the mechanics sucked.
And lmao did you say chocking on food and water? That's user error bro not design flaw.
And to say evolution exists in the modern atheist view then the supreme being would have lungs, and gills since gills are very important to breath under water. We would have arms and legs and wings since all of them are important. We would have never lost a tail as tails on all animals are in fact important. We would have the eyes of an eagle , the strength of a beetle , the ability to camouflage at will, jump as high as a flea, and survive a nuclear blast like a water bear cell.
All in all evolution is the greatest deception the world has ever seen. Yet the various changes within each kind of creature that is observable and testable by science is proven to in 100% alignment with biblical doctrine.
It's 100% design flaw. There is absolutely no benefit to it and only potential downside.
And to say evolution exists in the modern atheist view then the supreme being would have lungs, and gills since gills are very important to breath under water.

This is the Hollywood (I'm the next link in the evolutionary chain) version of evolution that is indeed bullshit. All those things you mentioned come with a price. Everything comes with a price. You can be bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter, but that doesn't mean you are better off because you will also need to consume a lot more fuel and have a much more complex body.
Evolution isn't some ladder with insects at the bottom and people at the top. It's a sphere that goes in all directions. Are people more evolved than cockroaches? In some ways, yes. But a cockroach can be thrown off the highest rooftop and have no problem surviving the fall. They can breed much faster. They can fit in tiny cracks and escape predators. They can survive radiation much easier. And 10,000 years from now, guess which species I'm putting my money on to still be around.
We pay a big price for being bigger and smarter.
All in all evolution is the greatest deception the world has ever seen.
The version you described? Yeah. But the only universe without evolution is one that's frozen in time. Environments obviously change over time. Different species cross over to different land masses and new predator/prey relationships are formed. Species have no choice but to evolve to keep up with the changes.
Also, how do you think we got dogs like chihuahuas and weiner dogs? Because they certainly didn't exist 200 years ago. They all have one common ancestor. The wolf. And with selective breeding, you can turn a wolf into a weiner dog. We just sped up the evolutionary process because we can pick their mates and have 100% control over their environment.
We didn't evolve bro we are made they way we are. We change and vary in shape and size and color but so does all other kinds and species. There has never been or ever will be evidence of macro evolution. And still to this day all hoax evidence that is found in every museum of humanoid apes have all been proven to be fraudulent and artists reductions of what they think they were like. And they made all these ape men to look the way they did with not even a single complete skeleton. It's bullshit and many atheists have been calling it out as such.
We are made in Gods image and all animals are made to be as they are.
NDT apparently wants people to think that self preservation and greed are not basic primal instincts engrained in just about every living organisms DNA.... And also is exposing some tired old liberal bullshit.
A self-important, arrogant, insufferable gasbag. I can't fucking stand NDT.
Black Bill Nye.
You mean Bill Nye the mechanical engineering guy?
He also worked for NASA. "Developing" a fucking sun dial. Ya know, what kids do in the 5th graden
Listen BIGOT, cars are heteronormative!!! Why can’t you gas them in another way than a penis/vagina analogue??!??? Why can’t you fill it with a lady dick?!!!!!!! BILL NYE HAS IMPORTANT WORK TO DO TO MAKE CARS TRANS FRIENDLY Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Cars have: a transmission
Billy Nye the Faggot Guy has: a trans mission
Neil degrasse Tyson has a nice title but is a pompous fool just like Bill Nye. Both are Frauds.

Why the fuck are new cars suspension suddenly fucked up, and why is my drive no longer smooth?
Because new cars are no more yours than the music you stream off of spotify or the games you access via steam. Junk computer crap that is impossible to repair on your own and probably able to be remote accessed but that's speculation.
I wonder if someday cars will rat you out to the cops if you speed or drive erratically, perhaps through contacting police directly or perhaps some kind of system similar to an airplane's black box where law enforcement or insurance agencies can plug in and see how you were driving.
Graden sounds like mortal kombat teacher
I guess we can conclude astrophysicists know nothing about history and should stay in their lane
This is a well documented problem in every scientific field. Highly trained specialists thinking they are geniuses in every area. Einstein's political ideas were naive at best. Newton spent his life chasing alchemy after basically inventing physics.
There have been a couple exceptions. Feynman for example did a lot of things outside his field just by applying some disciplined thinking.
I wouldn't go so far as to say "stay in your lane" to these guys, since they have opinions just like the rest of us, but it's important to remember that outside their fields of expertise they are just regular dudes with opinions, like all of us.
The giant of Utter Mastery of Everything being Gauss.
Newton was pretty badass though. He was never going to be normal.
I've been saying for years I wish Feynman were around to debunk the Warmist Alarmists.
all rocket scientist kind of suck ass though. Musk rapes their brains without ever attending one class. Lands a reusable rocket backwards. Just close the Universities out of embarrassment. Imagine calling yourself a "rocket scientist" and someone says Elon near you. Melting must occur.
That's literally all they know. They stare through little lenses at points of light that emanated millions of years ago. Then look at newspapers from the wrong end of the same telescope and act like they can glean what's going on.
Not all of them.

Leftist History for NdG Tyson in one word: "Gimme"
They really should stay in their lane. When these people start talking about politics for example, you know they should shut up and stick with the astrophysics, at least in professional capacity, they can have opinions like everyone else but I don’t see medical doctors or neurosurgeons thinking they know about other fields.
Can confirm. Most of my colleagues have a deplorable excess of personality.
Sincerely,
Your local based astrophysicist
If a scientist or doctor becomes an instant celebrity (looking at you Fauci), they are immediately on my "DO NOT TRUST" list.
This. Most scientists are too busy doing a useful job to spout whatever opinions they have on television.

Bill Nye the Sex Junk Guy
Sweet! Way to bring back the way back! I remember waking up early and catching the wiz on tv with my sister as kids. Mr wizards world for the win!
Heck I would take Beekmans world over Nye.
the..who? I only know of Bill Nye the woke faggot guy
Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill Nye the Bullshit Guy

Bill Nye is more black than NDT.
half black. mother is Puerto Rican
YES! Exactly.
Right? Ever notice his field will state a "fact" with absolute authority and certainty. They'll ridicule anyone who disagrees. And then 5 years latter they find out they were completely wrong, state a new "fact" and start the process all over again.
I mean, the best equation they've come up with says half the universe can't be measured or interacted with in any way (dark matter/energy) and they can't figure out how one of the four fundamental forces works (gravity). And they got no idea why expansion is speeding up instead of slowing down.
What a bunch of clowns. These people are only important because of their image. We need to take a hard look at how we fund our sciences and figure out a way to pay for results and not just research. It seems like too much money is going toward research that only exists to keep the grants coming in instead of actually making progress.
Yeah, the whole, dark matter and dark energy can't be measured or observed in any way is highly questionable. If their theories need all that to work, I think the problem is with the theories.
Except the presence of dark matter and energy emerges purely from observation (there are massive pockets of something pulling on stars that we cannot detect in any way). So it’s not just something that comes out of pure theory. It’s wrong to say dark energy and matter are not observed—but as far as we can tell they only interact through gravitational force
They observe inconsistencies because they only consider gravity at those distances. there is another force that operates on the same distances as gravity, is vastly more powerful, is strongly implicated to be present in massive amounts, and is utterly ignored by the mainstream. Instead they invent entirely new types of matter to plug the holes in the theories.
I figured observed was not the best word. Dark energy, and matter, if I understand correctly, are only indirectly observed. My concern is that in order for our theories of gravity and such to work, we need dark matter and energy. Or, galaxies would pretty much spin away their stars. Which is why I have questions about the validity of our current models.
If something fundamental doesn't make sense, it probably doesn't make sense.
Remember, at one time, we assumed the orbits of planets had little loop-de-loops in them, which required a huge number of theoretical things, because we had a flawed base assumption of geocentricity. Phlogustion is another one, we thought the universe was cooling down at some fantastical rate, but then counteracted by some inner flame, not so much.
At its core, physics is "simple". In the same regard that fundamentally at its core, the internet is a pile of 0's and 1's. Little, basic, reasonable rules, which add up together to make complex existence.
But models predicted planets in our solar systems, we knew orbits didn't make sense, and so measured out reasonable assumptions of planets and even comets, based on heuristic indirect observation. Dark Matter is a placeholder, or it should be, on par with "gravity well sphere somewhere way out near the Kupier Belt" placeheld exoplanets.
Eisenhower warned of the Big Science-Big Government pairing in the same farewell address in which he warned of the military industrial complex.
He’s also a Rapist
NDT is the platonic diversity hire
Niel Degenerate Tyrant
Very true. He’s an immensely dumb guy. He’s literally an affirmative action astrophysicist.
Dumber than the average astrophysicist for sure. NDT talks like an arrogant pompous fool.
The thing is, that podcast wasn't particularly good, but I think the one before it was a lot better, and the irony is it completely contradicts the worldview he's trying to show here. In that podcast, he details how you need to give credit to Christian institutions of the past for promoting a lot of the science that he loves to practice and study today. He also has rants saying that we need to appreciate Columbus for the fact that he did unite every single section of the world when they used to be cut off by oceans. He knows that there is good to Western civilization. This tweet is just a direct contradiction to something that he flat out knows to be wrong, he is pandering to Twitter, which makes it even more disturbing because now he's chasing likes over the truth.
Tale as old as time. People will pick fitting in over integrity. Look at where we are at today.

Michio Kaku is Neil Degrasse's Asian clone. They're both vapid mouthpieces who take 3000 words to teach absolutely nothing. They just sit there jerking themselves all day over how many meaningless words they can string together. And for "science popularizers" they're both incredibly socially inept and do nothing but speak to their own Reddit choir. Who puts these out-of-touch nothings in front of cameras?
Yep, he went on Joe Rogan's podcast and just kept interrupting every 5 seconds. Then when Joe said something he didn't like, he just ignored his opinion and went on like rants about multiple things and why everyone else is wrong. He's really an annoying guy when you watch his own podcast too. I rate him, like Pokimane, a 2/10.
hes got some disassociative disorder. always smiling and laughing like a freak. fucking weird guy....totally detached from reality.

9.2 Million people currently living in slavery in Africa right now. 62/100 rating
US 400,000 in modern slavery right now. 16/100 rating.
"Modern slavery" that's got to be some doublespeak bullshit.
Likely working at a fast food job. I don't think it includes being an unpaid intern for congress or a big liberal social media company.
I think it means when you leave home and have to work for your tendies.
OMG that is so unfair!!! Slavery!!! Mom is supposed to bring them to the basement.
I read in places like Saudi Arabia they have actual slaves. They trick people from poorer countries like Bangladesh or the Philippines to come over on work visas then take their passports, force them to work for free and beat them if they complain.
Yes. Slavery is still in place in a lot of the world. There are actual real-life slaves in the US too but they tend not to be black so they "don't really count".
Yeah, sex trafficking is a huge problem in the U.S, thankfully Trump has clam down on it during his administration.
I assume it ment slaves owned illegally, like prostitutes and aliens "working off" the cost of being smuggled into the country
The left often depend on us assuming the rational view of what they're saying rather than the weird distortions they actually mean.
Man you think you speak good but you just end up sounding ridicullous. Fucking hell I cannot believe some of the people on this site
Wait, what is wrong with his statement of "The left often depend on us assuming the rational view of what they're saying rather than the weird distortions they actually mean."
That seems pretty clear and exactly what I think happens a lot of the times when "numbers" are reported.
K
was he referring to the people that made his iphone, maybe?
Like that would be made in the US...
I think modern includes human trafficking estimates too...but to be fair that falls in the same wheelhouse as big tech interns and caters to our politicians too apparently.
Let me stop you right there, pede. There is no such thing as a job that nobody wants to do. If the job is dangerous or uncomfortable, and nobody is signing up, the logical next move would be to increase the compensation. But when you allow a massive unchecked influx of uneducated, unskilled people, it becomes a race to the bottom for wages.
I can't tell you how many times I've had this conversation with idiot lefties. Complaining about wage stagnation while at the same time advocating for open borders is like standing in a sauna with a jacket on and complaining it's hot.
learn how to read, jesus
To be fair, sometimes there are not enough jobs to accommodate the available work force. This is why we shouldn't be letting millions of people from other countries flood our country.
I know that, you know that but democrats hate work.
First legal slave owner in the US was black.
In 1860, in Charleston South Carolina, black slave owners owned 70% of all the slaves in the city. source
Skimmed it -- thanks for the link.
Question: how did they define "black"?
Were these people black or mulattoes?
There's been a huge problem of people rewriting history and categorizing white people with some African ancestry as "black." Even if they looked white and were accepted as white by their local communities.
Wonder if this is the beginning of how they write white people out of their own history...like making Anne Boleyn black.
When everyone is black... No one is.
thats an interesting bit of info. thanks...kiiinda reminds me of the black guy that sued in court to have his black slave returned to him.
Ethiopia ended state sanctioned slavery in 1942, because the League of Nations forced them to.
I mean Liberia was technically colonized by black people from the U.S.
Actually Ethiopia was a Italian colony not disputing it is a shithole though
Ethiopia was invaded by Italy during World War 2. The people of the nation, led by their last emperor, Haile Selassie, fought long and hard to free themselves.
Then the Soviets rolled in and, as part of our "arrangement" with the Commies, claimed Ethiopia for their own. Murdered the emperor and buried him under a barracks, outlawed the Orthodox Church, and drove what remained of the nation's economy into the dirt.
They are STILL trying to recover from what was done to them for decades, so please excuse them for being a former-Communist-by-force shithole.
You can't make something go away by outlawing or.
Come on man jews ran the entire transatlantic slave trade.
They’re still mad about it, hence why we are where we are right now.
That makes a lot of sense.
...except for white abolitionists.
Britain and America were the first countries to even consider abolishing slavery and then used their blood and treasure to do it.
Today they get endless shit for slavery while no one says a word about the much longer running Islamic slave trade.
I think it's because leftists know Turks and Arabs don't have Christian guilt-complex and would just tell them to fuck off if they asked for reparations.
When you realize that both sides of the civil war were white supremacists, the only reason they hate the confederate flag versus the american flag is that it stood for states rights.
Whether you fly the american flag or the rebel flag, you are espousing white supremacy. because that what that stands for. You’re just picking between federation or confederacy. And judging by how the federal has gone the past 160 years, I would choose confederacy.
Or you fly neither, which.... get out.
and everyone is free to live their life as their ancestors did before colonization. dont see many volunteers tho.
To be fair, the middle east and north africa were once a huge parts of the world economy until Islam carne along.
But imagine what that does to a culture, socially.
Imagining the US in a few years all of a sudden needing no manufacturing and no farming, no local retailers and no dine-in restaurants.
It would cripple us.

Neil pretend scientist Tyson.
Hey now, managing the gift shop at his planetarium is hard work
Nice username
Wait. How can we understand what he said. The language. The means of transmission. The technology used to present that information?
Didn't that come as a result of European Colonial History, too?
Neil teGrasse Tyson is a hack in my opinion he might be good in his field of study but his takes on culture, politics etc are dogshit most of the time
The guy is the poster boy to the appeal to false authority fallacy. When I want an opinion about general relativity, I'll listen to him. My doctor doesnt have a better political opinion about Mesopotamian culture than my plumber does just because the former has a medical degree. Biggest sign of a hack imo. Acting like an expert in one specific field makes you an authority on something unrelated.
People associate intelligence or education in one field, or even 10, to mean all-knowing authority in others for some reason.
It's because it's the idea of credibility. They've done tonnes of studies on people and find that if someone wears a uniform, people perceive them to be trustworthy and correct even when they say the wrong thing. On top of that if you're at the top of one field or well known in that field, people think you're well versed on other topics too.
For instance, put a lab coat on some idiot and dress them up and make them look clean and then get an audience, then get the lab coat guy to say "The sky is the color red for x and y reason", then watch as people in the audience believe it and retell the lie to people later on. Then watch if you get three or four people in lab coats to do it to reinforce the lie and suddenly everyone in the audience believes it despite their brains seeing a blue sky moments later.
It's pretty fucked but thats how the climate change lie spreads. They get some shills, dress them up or find the right people, get them to tell the lie, find more "scientists" to reinforce the lie and then say "the consensus from scientists is that climate change will kill us in 20 years" (i.e find scientists in some other field like computer science or mathematics to repeat the lie, notice the vague meaning of "scientists", does that mean climate scientists or chemical scientists? Or does it really mean a marine biologist or computer scientist? Either way, just say "Scientists" and be vague and suddenly it's a "consensus amongst scientists") and then teach it in schools to reinforce the belief in children to cement the idea in future generations, wait and repeat this for 20 years and then find a "new discovery" or change the scientific idea as to why said event, in this instance climate change, has not happened but have enough people repeat the new lie and there ya go. You just proliferated a complete lie, but had enough credibility behind it to keep it around. I also forgot, as soon as anyone comes out and says anything to reject the claim, they slam them as a kook or some crazy individual who's not fully informed or not an actual scientist. Think about Bob Lazar and his claims about Area S4, everyone was saying he was a kook and that he was makin stuff up but so much of what he has said has come true like the hand scanners or S4 existing or him working at S4 and going to college at MIT or that the U.S Government has made contact with alien life or at the very least knows of their existence.
It's the same reason the new "ice age" didn't happen when 50 years ago they were saying it all day long how it was going to doom us. Or how we never ran out of oil when the oil crisis happened in the 70's, despite them saying there's not enough oil to last humanity for decades to come. Just straight up lie repeated by "credible" people can fool the logical part of your brain, because you think "I'm not a scientist, so I guess they're just right and know what they're talking about".
great point!! and whatever happened to the ozone layer? we should all be cooked by now.
We all died in the global iceball, so we will never know......
Or the original 70s fearmonger global cooling.
Can I just say that this from the other side is kind of hilarious though. People watch movies and shit where there is a "smart guy" who knows everything and just assume that's a real thing.
I'll be sitting around with my gym buddies and we're talking about something and someone will turn to me and ask a technical question like "why do brownouts affect certain areas in the grid and not others?" and i'm like... wait why the fuck do you expect me to know that? I'm a chemist not a civil engineer.
the stupidest people are often the most educated. especially if they actually call themselves an 'intellectual'.
Hence their venom for simple folk the world over who want to be left alone.
It's like when Bill Nye talks about Science, he's not a scientist, he's a mechanical engineer. So why am I listening to him about gender, biology, psychology and sexuality? I'm not.
You would think someone who was more intelligent, would also come with more skepticism and humility.
People who are experts in their field often don’t think they know all that much about their own field, let alone fields they don’t hold any credentials for.
When you know a lot about your own field, you learn new stuff every day... and you know that never ends

A fellow Team America fan I see. (the actual group is Screen Actor' Guild) Also, did you know that Reagan was president of it before his presidential run?
He's not even good in his field of study. He flunked out of grad school, then got into another program where he only got his Ph.D because his professors felt bad for him and let him get their coffee at the observatory, listing him as 34th author on their paper for his thesis. He would be working at Autozone if it weren't for affirmative action and white guilt.
Yikes
Is he even good in his field?
Jesus fucking Christ! I can't believe even conservatives believe he is a real scientist. What the fuck. You guys should know better. He only barely passed his degree then they put him straight into managing a planetarium because he was black and they wanted to give him a job but he wasn't capable of doing actual science.
Whenever liberals present you with someone calling themselves an "expert"m they aren't. Stop falling for this.
Exactly. Native Americans were basically stone age people when Columbus landed. History is full of examples where a higher tech society conquered a lower tech one.
Stone Age people who slaughtered each other pretty savagely. Scalping was invented by Indians.
Neil also forgot that before Europeans were involved in colonization and imperialism, they were at each other's throats for millennia squabbling over land and resources. They didn't give a wet shit that their enemy had similar skin tones. Literally the worst two wars in the history of our species happened 100 and 80 years ago between Europeans LOL. Tribalism is all of our history. The victor is all that matters. It's a fkn miracle any Celt even made it to the 19th century, much less that they became a significant chunk of the commonwealth nations. Even people here are ignorant to the fact that the irish and italians were treated as subhuman for a long, long time.
I say this to people all the time who talk about this shit.
White people have killed more white people than any other race up until the Cold War. The idea that while people are some untied race is just historical ignorance.
If anything, the US is the first example of Europeans being able to live together in relative harmony.
I think you mean until AFTER the cold war. USSR was a white country too y'know? Unless you mean the puppet governments.
Well it’s the Cold War because we never directly fought with the USSR. So not much death.
the idea that land ownership was a non-existent concept to native americans is such a ridiculous myth.
Sure but they would lose to a bronze age person who would lose to an iron age person
Cortez conquered a people that slaughtered their own children and ate their hearts. May have been a mission from God.
"History is full of examples where a higher tech society conquered a lower tech one."
I would point out the impact of lower tech ones on higher tech as well. There is exchange of peoples in every case. For example, Columbus ships returned to introduce syphilis to Europe. Rampaged through wealthy and poor alike. Wealthy elite class afflicted by the disease took the fashion of wearing wigs to cover for hair loss, trending the use of wigs in high-society. The Puritan movement emerged as a response to what it saw as degeneracy styling itself as a way of life to avoid syphilis and related afflictions. The long lasting influence of these things are traced back to the impact Native Americans sent home with Columbus men.
Worth observing that when Columbus was funded for his voyage everyone assumed it was a suicide mission. He couldn't recruit men for his ship by usual means. They issued reduced sentences to criminals who would take on the voyage, literally staffed those trips by the incarcerated. Americans venerated Columbus as folk-hero for the spirit of attempting something at great personal risk that might result in advancing human knowledge, the romanticized fictional account is what became folk-hero for a value that appealed to frontiers people in the new land. But again. He was staffed by criminals. Hence mutinies. Hence criminals acting like criminals while exploring, which the demoralizing communists find so convenient to turn ignorance into angry resentments. There's sharp divide between the fictionalized folk-hero used to exemplify an American value, and the narrow focus on brutal historic reality. Propagandists run wild.
The left’s version of world history is just the narrative of US history, but negative.
A lasting society brainwashes their kids.
Play up the shared values, common folk-lore, paint an image of what it is to be part of that tribe and convince most kids to buy into it. Traditionally all states were ethnostates of a shared people and history. America is unique in being a society of many different ethnicities without shared cultural traditions or history. In 1800s to early 1900s a purposeful history was collected to try and knit together the differing people living here. They constructed folk-heroes that appealed to the cultures on the frontier and spoke to values held in high-regard in America that distinguished it from other places of the world. This is where you get romanticized folk-hero versions of figures like Columbus (who convey value of exploration at great personal risk for the potential of new discovery) that differs from their historic realities (not the point).
In other countries their education focuses on brainwashing for their local lore. Any coverage of outside nations often painted in a negative light.
Since the 1960's the door was opened boosting immigration into America but without plan to knit those newcomers into the existing system of shared folk-lore and values. The left harped and hammered on the differences and no need for assimilating different peoples into one shared vision. Today we're seeing inversion where the worst traits of America as perceived by those raised outside of America are the central seed of their proposed resent filled folk-lore for the country. It's a system designed to destroy social cohesion. They've no interest in building a lasting society.
"Communist bandit" really is an apt description of the net behavior. Loot the village and move on when there's nothing left to loot.
They already did! Their version of writing was just spoken!
Meh, the Native Americans were in many ways healthier and more fit than the first wave of European colonists. Native American bows were not really all that inferior to muskets, if at all, because they could fire them more rapidly and accurately, with about the same range. The main reason the Native Americans got conquered was smallpox. It decimated 90-95% of the Native Americans and eliminated entire tribes and nations.
The Comanches took the foreign horse and mastered it, then became better than any other culture on Earth with it. They and their bows and horses dominated the southwest for 150 years in the face of colonization. Fun fact, they were finally brought down because the colt revolver evened the playing field with their bows.
That is true and that would have happened when those 2 cultures mey
Exactly and why the Vikings were decimated by the Native Americans 500 year earlier, when they landed in North America.
Had smallpox not decimated the population, there is a high chance the Natives would eventually have either fought back significantly or created their own united nation, that would have prevented a creation of an American state from East to West of the north American continent
Really? They lacked a written language, the wheel, any kind of machinery and manufacturing. Your hypothesis is hard to believe.
The rapidly learnt to use the horse that was re-introduced into North America by the Spanish colonists and had mastered its use within a few decades, so much so that we don't even think of the idea of a Native riding a horse and firing arrows from atop it is anything peculiar.
The idea that they would not have been able to adapt to the changes coming is absurd.
The indians didn't want to create a nation. Their civilization was less advanced than Sub-saharan ones. If the people never settle down in one spot, it is impossible for Science and thus society to evolve. Indians had no interest in contributing to civilization only to hunt. Horses just happened to make that easier. Perhaps they could have posed some sort of meaningful civilizations but never would they have banded together to stop the Americans. Not all 574 tribes or anywhere close.
They would have suffered an immense economic/cultural loss. Just like how all the other countries speak English and we don't have to learn any of their languages to get by.
Motherfucker would still be chasing his food if it weren't for white Europeans.
He'd still be twiddling sticks to start fires and bashing each over other the head with rocks if it weren't for white people.
He'd still be in chains if it weren't for white Republicans.
His head is in the fucking clouds
Yep, there's very little oxygen up there.
This is what diversity hiring and affirmative action gets you.
People complaining about this type of history is literally the same thing as crying because the person who trained harder than you beat you in the race.
I am damned proud of my ancestor's ability to conquer the world and TBH, if I wasn't of European decent I would be jealous of them.
Many civilizations couldn't build a boat and they bitch at europeans for building boats...Might is Right.

This exactly. I love it when they claim the Native Americans were 100% peaceful.
Peaceful. LOL
If they'd been able to manage it, they'd have killed every male, enslaved every woman, and stolen every child of the European Tribe. Exactly the same thing they did to each other for tens of thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
hell, the Navajo of the US Southwest were cannibals, and if you want to go a bit farther south what killed off the Maya was industrial scale self-sacrifice. When their crops started dying after a number of dry years they killed their children as offerings to their gods, and when that didn't work they didn't STOP killing, but doubled down and sacrificed MORE. And then more again, and more again, until there weren't enough people left alive to support the infrastructure of their cities and they drifted back into the jungle. The piles of human hearts filled swimming pool sized pits.
Peaceful
LOL
The fun part? Ask random people on the street today, and they'll wax poetic about how American Indians are gentle, "at one with Nature", and have "great wisdom."
Fuck. I've seen the aftermath of Apaches who locked their tribal enemies in cage trucks intended for animal transport, soaked them with gasoline, and lit it.
Also the 'one with nature' trope, so ridiculous. Plains Indians devastated vegetation and many tribes' hunting practice was to drive a whole herd down a cliff. To salvage 1-3 beasts.
It's called the "noble savage" trope and it's dumb as hell
"but doubled down and sacrificed MORE"
Reminds me of liberals, no wonder they are enthralled.
i dont want to see one more damn indian exhibit on the smiths onion museams website. i'm sick of it and i only saw it today for the first time. keep our money for real americans....not for misinformation. we played cowbosy and indians as kids. guess what. i was the cowboy.!!
Sorry but half of what you said literally is European/white man making his own history and you believing it. Fuck even your years are off "historically" by a shit ton.. our "known" history of the native Americans was all burned and destroyed or locked up in the Vatican, or even melted back down into spanish ingots... Or "known" history of native americans MIGHT go back to the 1400s not "tens of thousands of years".
Sure would help if they wrote that shit down in their nonexistent written language.
They multiple written languages... Like saying Egypt has no writings... They're called hieroglyphics... Also had a written language made from knotting fabrics. Fuck, even in the north the Cherokees had a written language with symbols representing spoken syllables. Dude do some research before you attempt to troll.
Wiki says the Cherokee symbols were made in the 1810's 1820's. After Europeans arrived if that wasn't obvious. I've seen street signs on Canadian reserves in whatever language they speak but using Roman alphabet characters. School me more on this rich written history.
He was using Cherokees as an extreme. To be fair, the North American Indians didn't really write at that allotted time frame. However, the central American and South Americans did. The Azecs, Mayans, and Olmec had ruins that went back thousands of years.
I do appreciate u/SomaMinded 's emphasis, however. It's easy just to dismiss those cultures out of hand when the other side overly glorifies them. I'm not saying the Native Americans are perfect, but we should strive to be fair in our assessments (and not clump together a diverse group of peoples into one amalgomous monster defined only by its negatives), which I think Soma is on the right track to doing.
Well said
This is the original problem lumping them altogether strips them of their uniqueness and sets them up to be dismissed out of hand. A convenient trick to obliterate culture and replace it with one of your choosing. You and Soma are correct. These things are not simple at all.
Also never said "rich" history, and good to know about the knot shit. They also supposedly had one of if not the most advanced understanding of astrology at the time. Wouldn't this require some time of advanced written system to aquire?
Real thought and question .. my bad attacking, and thanks for the info 👍
Idk who sucks more, him or bill nye...
Neil just diluted all of humanity into 6 words not just "white colonialism"....tbh...humanity has always been about conquering and taking...aka... to the victor go the spoils. Also attaching modern views on progressivism and civil rights to a era hundreds of years ago is pretty fucking dumb. The world is a much different place now.
I see his knowledge of History is about the same as his grasp of Science
Every civilization took the same approach, it's just that Europeans were better. If they weren't someone else would have their land now.
That someone else being the Moors. Nobody wants to remember the time white Europeans were colonized by black Africans.
The Moops, you mean.
Moors aren't black lol.
Negros can't conquer shit.
North Africans aren’t black, and the Moors only controlled parts of Spain.
Yeah yeah, they're only black when Europeans defend themselves from invasion or try to paint Jesus.
Didn't they dig pretty deep into France too?
They tried, but Charles ‘The Hammer’ Martel, pushed them out.
I seem to vaguely remember my French teacher talking about Moorish influences in architecture.
Of course I took Spanish as well, so I probably mixed them up
Europe was better. Now Western nations systematically destroy their own demographics and cultures via immigration aka invasion. Guess we weren't that great in the end, eh?
"WHYPIPO
-BLACK SCIENCE MAN
Let me spot him his witty history lesson. The irony is completely lost on him. Without that specific "flavor" of conquest (colonialism) it's safe to say he wouldn't be a prominent scientist in any field. Double the irony points if he was a "affirmative action" or some other "diversity" program for admission into college or other parts if academia or the workforce, but maybe he got to where he is at all on 100% merit.
Whites were just better at it than anyone else... do to superiority and all.
It’s actually racist. So neal degrase Tyson can take his atheist liberal bigotry and go fuck himself with it.
hatred of white people gets you a job in the semite-owned MSM.
Tyson isn't a real astrophysicist. He's penned no new theories, and the volume of his work is actually very small.
He's such an idiot, people with such a myopic view on history are the worst kind of people.. Is this what the Black man in Africa said to the other Black men in Africa that they willingly enslaved to sell off to make a profit?
They don't call him "Black science" man for nothing.
Pre-Colonial America in six words: Gods are made. Need more hearts.
These people are so butt hurt about the past it'd be hilarious if they weren't doing such a great job winning now in erasing it for lies.
Milo on NDT
The Bill Nye of astronomy.
That what I was told by a colored person when he throw me off of, and stole my bike.
These are the same fucks that would take over what we have in a second if we let them. GFY
And they have. Behold their take on civilization... Philadelphia, Camden, East St Louis...etc.
I have six words for you, Tyson. Fuck your arrogant ass! Sincerely, Pluto.
He's so fucking stupid that he once lectured college students on why God is dumb for putting an organ ( penis) next to where you poop . And every idiot laughed.
Yet here I was thinking to myself where else would God put the penis? Maybe God should have put his on his forehead ?
The man is a hypocrite just like every one else. And it's getting truly insufferable to see all of these evil people still breathing air.
There is a lot about the human body that could be designed much better, indicating that if it did have an intelligent designer, he didn't do such a great job.
Why do have an appendix? It serves no purpose and appendicitis was a death sentence before treatment was discovered.
Thousands of people die every year from choking on food or water. If the passage to the lungs and stomach were completely separate, like in dolphins, then this would never happen. Poor design.
Not to mention the endless amount of physical problems people can have throughout their life.
Yeah, but the "design" in question, if intelligent, doesn't have to have as its goal the health of the human. We design all sorts of products with obvious inefficiencies and flaws that are nonetheless acceptable in context.
A design can just be "good enough" especially when that design can draft it's own upgrades.
Lol appendix is an immune booster for kids. Everyone knows that. And yes it if burst you died but so did anyone who got a cold and didn't treat it. Doesn't mean the design is bad means the mechanics sucked.
And lmao did you say chocking on food and water? That's user error bro not design flaw.
And to say evolution exists in the modern atheist view then the supreme being would have lungs, and gills since gills are very important to breath under water. We would have arms and legs and wings since all of them are important. We would have never lost a tail as tails on all animals are in fact important. We would have the eyes of an eagle , the strength of a beetle , the ability to camouflage at will, jump as high as a flea, and survive a nuclear blast like a water bear cell.
All in all evolution is the greatest deception the world has ever seen. Yet the various changes within each kind of creature that is observable and testable by science is proven to in 100% alignment with biblical doctrine.
It's 100% design flaw. There is absolutely no benefit to it and only potential downside.
This is the Hollywood (I'm the next link in the evolutionary chain) version of evolution that is indeed bullshit. All those things you mentioned come with a price. Everything comes with a price. You can be bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter, but that doesn't mean you are better off because you will also need to consume a lot more fuel and have a much more complex body.
Evolution isn't some ladder with insects at the bottom and people at the top. It's a sphere that goes in all directions. Are people more evolved than cockroaches? In some ways, yes. But a cockroach can be thrown off the highest rooftop and have no problem surviving the fall. They can breed much faster. They can fit in tiny cracks and escape predators. They can survive radiation much easier. And 10,000 years from now, guess which species I'm putting my money on to still be around.
We pay a big price for being bigger and smarter.
The version you described? Yeah. But the only universe without evolution is one that's frozen in time. Environments obviously change over time. Different species cross over to different land masses and new predator/prey relationships are formed. Species have no choice but to evolve to keep up with the changes.
Also, how do you think we got dogs like chihuahuas and weiner dogs? Because they certainly didn't exist 200 years ago. They all have one common ancestor. The wolf. And with selective breeding, you can turn a wolf into a weiner dog. We just sped up the evolutionary process because we can pick their mates and have 100% control over their environment.
Anyone saying the appendix has no purpose isn't up to speed. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071008102334.htm
We didn't evolve bro we are made they way we are. We change and vary in shape and size and color but so does all other kinds and species. There has never been or ever will be evidence of macro evolution. And still to this day all hoax evidence that is found in every museum of humanoid apes have all been proven to be fraudulent and artists reductions of what they think they were like. And they made all these ape men to look the way they did with not even a single complete skeleton. It's bullshit and many atheists have been calling it out as such.
We are made in Gods image and all animals are made to be as they are.
TO: Neil deGrasse Tyson in 4 words. Survival of the fittest.
China right now: Wow, Africa has a lot of Natural Resources.... MINE!!! and if you complain you are a RACIST!!!
NDT apparently wants people to think that self preservation and greed are not basic primal instincts engrained in just about every living organisms DNA.... And also is exposing some tired old liberal bullshit.
I can’t stand that pompous piece of shit!!!
Science Obama only has a career because of Carl Sagan.
