He's a science guy, not a scientist.

He also dated Grace Jones. Prime human indeed.

More educated, you mean? Cuz to my knowledge only one of them works in science

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 week ago

Bill is just a science guy after all. Not a science lord.

I bet Lundgren is a huge piece of shit irl, no way someone like this can’t have a major fatal flaw

I read through his wiki entry and didn't notice anything of import except he made a bunch of flop movies and then he married a personal trainer 40 years younger than him

It's tragic that he never got to play a scientist who could smell crime.

Eh, it's more about the enthusiasm than the qualifications. Plus, while Bill Nye is no angel, at least he's not a Putin supporter.

Is there some controversy around Bill Nye that I haven't heard?

He has been a leading science communicator covering hundreds of topics for many decades, and is only human, of course there are going to be shortcomings.

He has a reputation of just being an unpleasant dick and difficult to work with. Nothing super problematic to my knowledge, just a bad personality.

Bill Nye is an entertainer / educator. I've met plenty of people with PHDs and masters who couldn't present a basic concept because they're too caught up in technicalities and not understanding what it's like to teach and get people interested in something.

I'll happily take a minimally qualified Science Guy that inspires thousands or millions of people to get into science than the most sciency scientist in all science that only ever inspired people to punch people.

If you read BS as Bullshit, it makes it better.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I always read it that way. Why not just call it B.O.S or remove the abbreviation?

My brain has always translated BS to "Bastard Studies." I genuinely have up take a beat when someone says they have a BS in something so I can remind myself science bachelor

And he is a Trump and Putin supporter. Fuck him.

Since we are talking science, let me paraphrase Carl Sagan:

"Claims require evidence"

I could only find this:

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2013/06/dolph-lundgren-putin-sniper-rifles-interview.html

It mentions only Putin (which also sounds like a joke) and it's from 2013 (before the annexation of Crimea).

Is there any more, and preferably recent, info?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe they're confusing Dolph with Kevin Sorbo?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago

I think that's bigger insult than calling him a Trump supporter

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 week ago

I don't care much about this guy specifically, but I wanted to chime in and say that I appreciate you looking for a source.

He took his role in Rocky IV too seriously.
