Neil Degrasse Tyson: “If you’re scientifically literate the world looks very different to you”
Full interview link: Conversations at KCTS 9: Neil Degrasse Tyson (Airdate: July 3,2009)
“At least once a week, if not once a day, we might each ponder what cosmic truths lie undiscovered before us, perhaps awaiting the arrival of a clever thinker, an ingenious experiment, or an innovative space mission to reveal them. We might further ponder how those discoveries may one day transform life on Earth.”
~Neil Tyson

If only scientific …
If only scientific illiterates were automatically disenfranchised… that could easily go on my top ten “single event that would radically change the world for the better” list.
you are high

Hahahaha aint that …
Hahahaha aint that the truth.
How about changing …
How about changing the subject to this video about Tyson?
That’s what Youtube comments are for, the video, not your personal soapbox. You can use Twitter for that nonsense.
We could try …
We could try changing to subject to how leaders we don’t agree with are like Hitler?

You …
@ancalites
You actually believe that?
It’s a just a …
It’s a just a hodgepodge of some of the ideas you’ll often hear from conspiracy theorist nutters. The sad thing is, despite the fact that I intentionally tried to make it sound as crazy and as far-fetched as possible, it’s probably relatively sane when compared with what the true loony-toons believe.
Ancalites, I …
Ancalites, I presume you didn’t mean any of that. Caveatemp, how many wars has the current democratic administration started? And how many wars did the previous republican administration Start?
Majestic 12 did 9/ …
Majestic 12 did 9/11 so the Illuminati would have carte blanche to overtly take out Saddam Hussein who had fallen out with the NWO after refusing to kowtow to the demands of the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds that he step down before 2012 to allow Obama to take control of the Middle East after the planned mass nuclear strike decapitates individual nation states and ushers in the age of global totalitarian government.
i.e. No
I just want to …
I just want to watch youtube videos, guy. Go wear your tinfoil hat somewhere else.
What does that tell …
What does that tell you? Maybe that you are in the minority. I suppose you are a “liberal” Obama supporter who’s all hopped up and ready to go to war with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and Yemen. If Obama says it’s liberal and we have to smoke Osama out of his cave still then you’re all for it, right?
For once I want to …
For once I want to come into a Youtube video where the comment section ISN’T talking about 9/11.
Is that at all possible?
Yes, because metal …
Yes, because metal magically goes from perfectly fine to a liquid at an exact temperature. . . seriously, wake up. They have to build steel building a certain way so the wind doesn’t BLOW THEM OVER. It doesn’t take much. Certainly thousands of gallons of airline fuel could do it.

I’m sorry, what ar eyou asking?
I mean they don’t …
I mean they don’t know the thraectories and cycles. You know to know it like your palm, to understand the whole picture of the solar system. That guy is confused, narrow minded. He sees anything through the eyes of science. What is science ?

Gravity.

Oh, and there’s the …
Oh, and there’s the scientific fraud of climate-gate. There’s the scientific lens at work taking advantage of the masses.
That’s a bullshit …
That’s a bullshit statement. We know what the melting point of structural steel is and we know what temperature kerosene burns at. We know it was impossible for the towers to come down from fire. We know there is explosive thermite in the dust. We know all this and yet the power structure still takes advantage of us. This man is a fraud or completely duped.
Depending on how …
Depending on how you look at it, the earth can be quark size or galactic size.
The world seems to …
The world seems to me a billion times more bast, beautiful, complex and interesting now than when i was a catholic and belived in mumbo jumbo. Carl Sagan, Discovery Channel and, of course, reason changed my life a long time ago.
People don’t know …
People don’t know how planets move in the solar system, you want them to be literate

my parents put a bible in my hand and made me go to church……. double fuck!
my parents never …
my parents never got me like that ……… fuck
Alright, it might …
Alright, it might be an assumption but I think it’s a valid one. If they WERE vigorously interested in science he would have answered clearly “Yes, they are.” The fact that he didn’t answer like probably means they are not interested in science at this time. Personally, I thought it was clear. Maybe it isn’t, now that I think on it.
