Tyson is not even a legitimate scientist. He is a popsci scientist. There is a difference. He's up there with Bill Nye, but Bill Nye is only slightly better. I liked Bill a lot more before the massive shitshow that is his new show, jesus christ what a nightmare that thing is.

This just sounds like No Man's Sky.

Is le Reddit science man also a devout atheist? A friend of mine recently converted to atheism and he told me dropped $300 for him and his fiance to go to some convention with this guy.

Is it possible that the reason you haven't learned anything from him is because of your age? For example, you learned from Nye because you were young and didn't know any of the shit but you can't learn from Tyson because you are older and have already learned it?

it's not just a dichotomy of old and new scientists, but that people in general seem dumber than they did before. but we know that objectively, people aren't dumber, if going by something like a literacy rate.

at the same time, while people are generally smarter, both the average person and the legitimately intelligent still seem fucking stupid. as if there's just a loss of elegance and beauty in how we speak and think.

I'm just saying that, so far, I've not really heard of him doing anything really THAT important. He mostly just goes on morning news shows and talks about stuff like global warming, which at this stage you're an idiot if you don't think it's a real thing. All I've ever heard from him are just reiterations of what those before him have been discussing.

>>384108384
You realise that most, if not all scientists have a beginning interpretive frame. In fact most studies start with "I intend to find out blah blah blah". It's impossible for them to be completely impartial and some scientists will even not post studies that don't align with thier agenda.

They're not superbeings capable of magical super objectivity.

I'm not the guy you're responding to, but wouldn't you agree that people like Tyson or Nye (who I know is literally not a scientist in any capacity; I'm just using him as an example) are so far removed from any scientific ideal that they really are nothing but popularizers at best and propagandists at worst?

Sure it's true that it happens and that there is meddling in some cases. But also we need to make sure to go against those that clearly do have an agenda for the right or the left. We need people who research for data and post things that can be proven true regardless of idealogy. That is why I said they need to follow the data where it needs to.

Jesus Christ all these insecure kiddies who barely made it through highschool being mad about science popularization, mostly because hurr durr he's black!

Jesus fucking Christ.

That said, projects like these usually don't end very well, simply because precedence of realism over gameplay functionality USUALLY does not end well. The only science-popularization game that worked really well that I can think of was Buzz Aldrin's Space Race, and even that had an extremely niche appeal.

>>384111518
>Yes, I am implying that your ability to create wealth is directly related to your intelligence.
That is not something that needs to be implied, it's a cold hard scientific fact. There is a positive correlation between IQ and wealth or accademic and social success that can't be denied.

That said, it's not true that higher IQ also correlates with right-wing orientation. Or intelligence in general (because IQ is actually only one of existing intelligence marker).

It's actually much better to look at personality traits than intelligence. According to big five:

Conscientiousness is directly correlated to success in business, and also happens to be correlated to conservativism.

Openness is related to artistic talent and most common marker for left-wing inclination. It is however, also directly correlated to IQ and intelligence in general.

Other factors that play role are agreeableness (correlated again to left-wing attitudes) and neuroticism (correlated mainly to conservativism).

>at the same time, while people are generally smarter, both the average person and the legitimately intelligent still seem fucking stupid.
First of all, intelligence is a very complex concept that consists of multiple factors and is honestly mostly poorly defined by most people.
Second of all: people aren't getting smarter: they either stay the same, or possibly are growing slightly dumber than they had been in past. There is evidence indicating that people pre-agrarian revolution were actually smarter than they are now, technical parameters speaking. Although that evidence is tenacious, and based on the fact that they routinely had solved problems of extreme complexity with much less tools or pooled experience than we do today. It might be also explained by the sheer amount of time they had to solve them though.

As for people seemingly becoming dumber: first of all - GREAT deal of that is simple the fact that we are more exposed to stupidity, as more democratic society and social networking allow the dumb people to have more of a voice than ever. It's just much easier for people to manifest their beliefs than ever. We see more dumb people, AND there is also the negative attention bias: we remember the dumb opinions more than the smart ones, which makes us feel like there is a lot more dumb people than it seems. Hell, dumb people tend to be slightly more ready to share their opinions too, because "dumbness" in this case also usually includes lack of self-awareness or self-criticality.

With all that in mind, it is also true that there is a problem with education and the general way people are encouraged to use their capacity for knowledge. And neo-liberalism, postmodernism and whole bunch of other, often left-wing-connected beliefs are also at play. There is currently a major problem in the US, where basically ALL universities are profoundly left-wing: and left-wing isn't great at exercising critical thinking, for an example.

Actually, before he went completely mental, Dawkins used to be a very good evolutionary biologist. The concept of meme turned out ultimately to be a dead end due to it's very narrow and imperfect definition, but the guy did a major work in showing potential ways to reconcile behavioral and genetic development: The Blind Watchmaker and The Selfish Gene were both pretty ground-breaking books based on very good research and analysis.

I hate what Dawkins had become, but it's not true that he was never a good scientist.

Also, the inclusion of Tyson on that list is somewhat misleading: the guy has been pretty open to both philosophy and religion, he merely points out that it can go wrong, not that it's a futile or stupid idea at core.

I have absolutely nothing against this project in theory and I do find the sheer amount of pointless hostility around here pretty fucking sad:
That said I think scepticism IS in place here. The promises the game makes are too vague, and experience teaches us that these kinds of educational projects don't usually end very well. Also, it's a mistake to assume that when people want "proper space exploration game", they are asking for realism or scientific plausibility. The problem of No Man's Sky was not the lack of those: it was a poor design issue that made it un-fun to play.

Morality by definition isn't objective, not even under strictly religious codes. Morality by definition is normative. And most societies were well aware of that - most religions do not have actually one unified moral code to begin with, while many societies did have a unified moral code imposed by a system that was not actually theist to begin with (example of former would be Hindu or Shinto, while example of latter would be Confucianism).
So the assumption that we need religion to establish objective morality is wrong on just about every level. And I say that as somebody who is generally a religious apologist.

Plans for resupplying hydrogen in particular are actually discussed (Demetriades proposed space-depot resupplying from atmospheric gasses all the way back in 1964).

NSS's published proposition by Durda here:
http://www.nss.org/adastra/volume18/durda.htmSagan and Ostro discussed the viability of off-surface mining on many opportunities, noting that while certainly feasible, it poses some considerable risks. You can read more around here:
