That link has an episode of Bill Nye which I'm now watching

Thanks

its amazing how many people in this thread (or on the internet in general) think they're qualified to speak over an educated scientist with nothing but the firm refusal to accept that they were wrong backing them up

[Red Spy]

an educated scientist

He has a ba in mechanical engineering

[PhantOS]

He has a ba in mechanical engineering

I don't suppose the thousand of other scientists back at WHO and ICD are also untrained in everything except mechanical engineering

[Poliwhirl]

He has a ba in mechanical engineering

and you dont even have a degree. what's your point? not sure if you think you're only allowed to learn one thing when you go to college or something

[Maxwell.]

He has a ba in mechanical engineering

do you know what engineering entails

[Gojira]

He has a ba in mechanical engineering

INCORRECT.
it's a bachelor of science degree.
not a bachelor of arts degree.
there's a very distinct difference.

besides, engineering (very generically) is the application of science.

I think it's more amazing that the entirety of the people defending Nye haven't realized that Bill Nye as a person is just one big appeal to authority fallacy

I don't have to be a bonafide scientist to debate a scientist's ideas as long as I use the scientific method, but in case you forgetos can't accept that then know I'm going for a bachelor of ME like Bill Nye and I believe he's a crazy alarmist who either exaggerates the scale of climate change or exaggerates the scale at which certain policies will reverse it

the guy won't even debate with you; he'll want 99 other people to back him up (which not only is that statistic false but that's not a battle of ideas works) or he'll want you to go to prison for supposedly "endangering the public" which is batstuff loving asinine

and that doesn't even get into this special, where he contradicts himself by saying that "there are distinctly male and female brains" and then highlights that "gender is basically a social construct"

[Tactical Nuke]

also as a student working to be a mechanical engineer I can confirm that climate science is not in the curriculum, nor is biology

oops

[PhantOS]

where he contradicts himself by saying that "there are distinctly male and female brains" and then highlights that "gender is basically a social construct"

thats because loveual dimorphism and gender are two completely unrelated things forgeto. did you miss the 10 loving pages of cited articles from WHO and ICD that explained this?

there are two lovees: male and female. there are an unspecified amount of genders because it's entirely based on societal norms and stigma. they aren't the same thing

Masculinity and femininity are determined by biology though
