I haven’t seen Bill Nye Saves the World but the main problems people have with him is that he’s harsh on climate change deniers and he differentiates sex and gender.
The problems I have with both NDT and Nye are that they should stick to teaching science and quit dumping their opinions about philosophical and cultural matters. It’s like they can assert, because they are science celebrities, other not-scientific random crap they opine.
Again, what cultural matters are they even talking about that are so objectionable? I’ve yet to get any examples other than Christmas, which again, what he said wasn’t offensive. And as Frink already said, why does being a scientist automatically mean that they should never talk about anything else? I’m sure your profession isn’t related to the any of the shit you talk about on here or any other social media that you use.
It’s like when people point out that religious leaders shouldn’t tell you how to vote, and that politicians shouldn’t tell you how to pray. They should stick to science and pull the stick out for other matters that are not their field.
Religions are tax exempt and for that reason their leaders shouldn’t be telling us how to vote. Also, religious knowledge implies no political credibility whatsoever. Being a scientist, on the other hand, actually does imply that they’re generally far more knowledgable than most people. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be right on all cultural or philosophical issues, but they’ve got a better shot at being right than most people do. And politicians shouldn’t be praying at all, they be representing us in our government like they’re supposed to.
