Elon Musk is a hack. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a very real astrophysicist (got his doctorate from Columbia University) and an excellent science educator. I highly recommend his Teaching Company courses. Bill Nye is more an entertainer than he is either a scientist or an educator, but is neither a hack nor a stooge. I do not agree that either espouses anything like a neoliberal agenda.
I did return some, but that can't be why I'm getting the error message. The very first one I accepted had had it --something like "An error occurred. Please refresh the current page in your browser."
Which way does the scale go? In all seriousness of course I'm against any behavior that harms other people I feel like it's almost like asking someone if they are pro-cancer. Although when John McCain got diagnosed I didn't exactly think that was a bad thing given how much pain and suffering the policies he's voted on over the years have caused us not to mention picking Sarah Palin as his running mate so that I had to be painfully aware of her and her idiot family's existence. But I digress, and I will say that I agree with Matt Damon that there's a spectrum of behavior and that rape is a little different than patting someone on the butt or that we should just 100% believe every accusation out there. This mob justice mentality and people getting fired needs to be looked at. And again that being said Matt Lauer is a putz who never deserved to be a "journalist" or taken seriously in any meaningful way so I'm for mob justice in that instance because I'm much to petty to always apply fairness equally and the people I loathe must suffer.
This is certainly not the best example of Tyson logic but it's probably my favorite. Tyson is visibly angry at Colbert for not only being more entertaining but having a really good point even while he's being silly. I think Tyson is a good speaker and very likable but I have almost zero respect for higher education (I am reminded every day doing these damn college surveys) so his degree doesn't impress me and his reasoning and selective skepticism and biases annoy the crap out of me.
It's going to happen in the evening while I am not online. But just know, sometime between now and tomorrow, this number will be: $6666.66 Approved HITs $6,664.87
With the exception of Tavis Smiley, most of them admitted to their wrongdoing, so it wasn't mob justice. I keep thinking of this cartoon I have. I've watched Charlie Rose for 30 years. He's interviewed every world leader, every important writer, politician, film director, etc. Even the most despicable dictators knew they would get an unbiased interview from him. I've replayed many of his interviews on his website. So I was watching Christiane Amanpour, Rose's successor, comparing her style, etc., and then Tavis Smiley, as is my ritual from 11PM to 12:30. Tavis loves people, has a wonderful guffaw, and is personable....wait..Tavis is gone...where is he? So I checked the web..... And I pulled this out of my collection:
I don't see any anger there. To me, he looks and sounds like he's having a great time arguing with Colbert. He and Colbert luuuuuv each other. His reasoning, selective skepticism, and biases are all those typically inculcated by higher education (which I by and large share your zero respect for.) There isn't a scientist alive who doesn't make you want to roll your eyes every now and then with that bullshit.
I agree we should all agree that people I loathe should suffer and that even includes the people I loathe.
