FTFY: The plebs would not give a shit about science at all.

>Should popsci be banned?
On this board? Yes.

Should popsci be banned?
Yes.

No, I mean worldwide.

Can someone here brief me on what "popsci" means? I attempted to find information on it but found nothing but the website.

Do you like any of Brady Haran's youtube channels (sixty symbols, numberphile, periodic videos, etc)?

No, though I don't really watch YouTube channels in general.

Essentially it's a guy talking to profs about concepts and ideas. They describe the topic pretty well but do a poor job in explaining the reasons why it happens, usually using "well, the reasons are complex" or "we don't have time to get into why this works".

I feel though pop-sci is as beneficial as it's harmful. It brings some academics into the lime-light, while briefly introducing a new,complex, or important concept to the public, which I think is good. But it also fails to properly explain everything. If people are truly interested in something they'd go and read up on it, but many people don't really care, so they just accept whatever they hear in popsci as fact.

I don't think popsci should be banned because it can start public conversation on topics that are typically left to academics, but there should be more emphasis on further reading.

But their popsci pubs are just as dogshit as any other.
