Also Republicans: 99% of the worlds top scientists say COVID-19 is a big deal? What a bunch of bullshit, theyre just trying to control us!

I just cant engage with these people anymore.

Another common one I see:

Republicans: Trump was the best president ever! He did more for this country in one term than any other president did in two!

Also Republicans: Trump deserves a do-over on his first term! Democrats obstructed him the entire time and he couldnt get anything done! (they say while ignoring that Republicans had the House and Senate for the first half of his term)

How can you have a serious conversation with people who completely lack any critical thinking skills and just repeat whatever their propaganda program of choice tells them on a given day?

It's almost like Republicans are wrong about virtually everything.

Weird.

Didn't he cameo on Stargate just to have the scientic character say "at least my degree isn't honorary".

I mean, engineering is science adjacent, but there's a reason they are considered separate fields, and are often in entirely different colleges at the university level.

More like shouldn't be taken seriously because none of his television appearances for the last decade involve science and are just a mix of social shaming, memes, reddit pandering, etc.

Hes an engineer and an educator and a scientist in the truest sense of the word.

he is fundamentally smarter than Isaac Newton or most people we consider as having been thinkers or scientists in history

Saying that engineering is not science isn't meant to denigrate engineering, they are simply different disciplines.

Yes, it is. MAGAs don't understand numbers and ratios, let alone the scientific method.

Not really are brains our more or less exactly the same as they were 10000 years ago, he just has readily access to information that people like Newton had to figure out how to figure out. Like if you put a cadet from any military accadamy in a battle with Ceaser they gonna beat Ceaser, that doesnt mean they are more intellegent or a better general they just have far more info to work from.

Neil degrass Tyson once identified mechanical engineers as a type of scientist, for arguments sake but still. Plus I'd assume Nye has been exposed for decades to higher, more niche scientific fields and topics so yeah I trust his opinion on certain things.
