We used to kill people for less than that.  Sawant has done more for Seattle in the last decade than generations fo democrats before her. She ain't perfect (because no politician is perfect) but hot potatoes its a step in the correct direction. e: GADZOOKS! CHICHE'S THING WENT RIGHT OVER MY HEAD!!!

A year ago, if you had told me I could time travel to witness a historical event, I'd probably have chosen to witness the Battle of Cannae or the Crucifixion. Now, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when someone explains the Trump Presidency to Dwight Eisenhower.

He's a loving knob. Maybe he wasn't at one point, but he's one now. I get that a lot of people have a soft spot for him, hell, I loved his show growing up. But who do you think wins when he makes his media circuits dignifying climate change deniers with a "debate" or going to the creationist museum for a hyped event and winding up netting them serious loving cash? I get that the new IFLS trend is to bash on people who don't know better, but shining a spotlight on bad beliefs and lending them credibility by taking them on head-on does a lot more harm than good. It certainly doesn't help people looking to actually learn something, nor does it help people on the fence to be put on the defensive for being morons. They just dig in: it's human nature. Shows like his just reinforce the belief that people who disagree can't be reached on either side, and that's just... beyond harmful. e. Had he just resurrected his original show's premise and simply taught without any judgment, I think you'd find he'd reach a lot more people who'd otherwise recoil at them smug libruls GonadTheBallbarian fucked around with this message at 16:33 on May 17, 2017 |

Kalli posted:Beakman was better. My mans. And I agree with the other poster that if he just resurrected his old show he'd probably be more effective towards his goal. Ehud posted:yah I prefer the carl Sagan approach Totally agree. Sagan was great -- he wasn't a blowhard, a la Bill Nye, Tyson, Hitchens, Dawkins et al -- and his delivery was so good. I def had the thought of the climate change episode of Bill Nye's new show of "I'm on board with working towards limiting human contribution to climate change, but even I'm turned off by your yelling/preaching, so I can't imagine what someone who was skeptical would think seeing this".

I really hate the tone argument though. "I'd accept facts as facts if you coddle me and adjust your tone to not cause offense" is probably the reality, but it's also a blockheaded stubborn streak running through our society that massively holds us back.

Yeah, but there's nothing more self defeating than someone who takes the tone many internet athiests take from the outspoken atheists thought leaders. This is also the tone our popular science voices have taken of late.
