Why does Veeky Forums hate this man?

But not as much as he might. He has a deliberate policy of not speaking much or at all about controversial issues, such as Islam or gender shit - maybe privately, but not in public. He knows that his opinions are half-assed platitudes that would get dismantled in a second by critics. Whether that's a good thing or not - or honest, for that matter - is up for debate, but given his profession (raking in popsci bux) it's smart.

Condescending nigger scienceman who published shit.

I don't know what's worse: that or the time he got 1337h4xx3d by his daughter?

Like this?

I don't even CS and I know that's a retarded thing to say.

Lest we also forget what he said about the new Star Wars robot, unaware that it was, in fact, a prop.

Yeah stormnigger you can go back to /pol/ now

The moment I thought he could be a good role model for black people, he turns into a media monkey, starts acting ghetto and ruins everything.
He's also a self-important asshole like Krauss.

Stay in jail and refrain yourself from posting you disgusting BLM rapist

shots fired

He's just trying to be funny... He's not a comedian. He's a scientist trying to appeal to a crowd. Not a bad thing. Hating him because he has lame jokes is silly.

It's possible. This generation's gaming consoles are nearly unmoddable or won't be modded for a very long time. Software-wise on PC, it took hackers nearly forever to hack denuvo(?) algorithms and it will still present challenges for other hackers on future released software so laugh all you want at NTD. Unhackable networks are possible.

because:
3 PhDs
hugely successful academic
IQ > 160
funny, great personality
neurotypical (non-autist/burger)
great voice
rich
probably BBC

>hugely successful academic
>IQ > 160
You are completely retarded.

>3 PhDs
If that were true, I'm sure why it would be good.

It's not that his jokes are lame, it's that people who really follow him all act like they're experts on science because they read a few things he wrote.
It's like pretending you're qualified to run for senator because you watched the Daily Show.

severe butthurt detected

you cant be either of those because you were born with a shitty brain

I love me a good popsci discussion and all, but the few times I've tried listening to his podcast or podcasts with him, he really didn't say much that was interesting.
I mean fuck, if his credo is "public education", I have a hard time finding anything in common with what public education means when Feynman or Susskind do it and when Bill de Nye Tyson does it.

Haven't watch his cosmos tho. Maybe it's good.

he doesn't have 3 phds

and his iq isnt 160

My IQ is 199 so I highly doubt that.

My IQ is 317 so I highly doubt that

My IQ is 75 so I shovel beeble beeble beeble

My IQ is -1/12 you brainlets.

This

>they don't critically analyse it or care

that's a general problem though, what's he got to do with it.
also i'd still have some of those idiots follow tyson, rather the loads of other bullshit that is actually main stream.
plus, if they're young there is still the chance that they'll grow out of it.

to be clear, i'm not for putting him on a pedestal.

my iq is 120813209812093801927540397549038749023748923749082374. i highly doubt that

He gets paid 50k to speak for an hour about the most trivial stuff. Scientists don't get paid that much to speak about how there are more stars in the universe than atoms in my dick. He's a celebrity, not a scientist. Also, i never saw a guy with a Ph.D as dumb as he is, like really, the guy is a complete hack.

I see a lot of allegations but no citations or quotes.

You're all full of shit.

Then again, you hang out on Veeky Forums, so you probably have low self esteem.

Explains why you attack people.

I didn't think they liked NDT, he's always on /r/iamverysmart

this

>achieved something

He barely achieved his BA, eked out a BS - no honors - and flunked out of U Tex before Columbia somehow awarded him a PhD - evidently for being 1 of 18 students whose names appeared on a nothingburger paper about supernovas.

Respect!

Black science man says cool things make mind go BOOM

This.

He frequently tweets about feminism/equality bullshit

>Explains why you attack people.

for the lulz

He belongs to /r/i'mverysmart

nemorpheoushoes

>He's Smug

>He is worshipped as science God despite contributing practically nothing

>His Twitter feed

>He thinks he's smarter than he is

>He explains science in an awful way. I'm all for popularising it, but for the love of God don't simplify it. You can't explain QM well without math.

>He hangs out with Dawkins, Krauss, Nye and a bunch of other pseudo-intellectuals

/thread

You can do good popularization with minimal math, but you have to be honest about what you're doing.

Besides his intervention are generally very boring and more about first year physics than anything interesting.
>hurr durr if you're playing baseball on mars there's less atmosphere so the ball slows less

Meanwhile you have Susskind doing amazing popular science talks about de Sitter space an' shit.

My iq is [math] Ge^{\pi i} [/math] for [math] G [/math] Graham's number, so I highly doubt that.

Negative IQ? Ultimate brainlet detected.

...

I don't hate him.
He is one of the few outspoken "scientists" that isn't a complete retard when it comes to politics.

>Unhackable networks are possible
>because some shithead business made software that's stumped a few warez people is proof that unhackable software exists
please stop breathing

He's only famous because he was a student of Carl Sagan. Carl must have been blitzed in every class.

He's an annoying nigger who definitely masturbates to the sound of his own voice.

Hes not really anything to write home about as a scientist, but can make science not boring and so is super popular

I don't, he popularizes science and alot of conjecture is taken for fact, but hes not as big of douche as kaku is.

Something we can all agree on.

He copped out on the whole 9/11 conspiracy. Mainstream hack who is all pompous and shit.

"Spent the entire ride from the airport making repeated comments about the uselessness of our majors."

LoL holy shit, wish I had seen this earlier. I love this guy. Science celeb tells college rubes the truth about their degrees and they get butthurt. lol

This actually makes me think about something that I took a long time to understand.
You see a bunch of people complaining that we live in a "scientific society" or a "scientifically ordered society". For the longest time I had no idea what they meant, I was thinking "what the fuck, only a minority of people do science, and generally no one gives a fuck except the readers of popular science mags. People just buy their iPhone and they don't care how it works"

Actually, what they are thinking about is all those "studies show that" that fill every fucking media outlet, and that actually do govern things like political opinion. That is, essentially, social science studies and medical tests.

That is, of course for a student in science, something completely ununderstandable. For us, science means making analytical models, predictions, and all that jazz. For the general public, "science" means essentially "does X happen a lot in Y? We did a survey/test and we found that X happens 68% of the time in Y, therefore yes. End of story". Maybe sometime there will be a short proposed explanation of the result but it stops there.

tl;dr It is of prime important to keep explaining that no, social sciences are not real sciences, and that no, doing pharmaceutical testing isn't the alpha and omega of science.

Daily reminder that Based Dick Masterson is our de facto guy

Can you count to potato?

Can you remember that time he tried to argue the earth was round?

What an uneducated idiot.

>implying there is no value to fields outside STEM

There is more to that.

Current push from business and politicians generally has security as a very low priority.

The FBI basically wants backdoors in everything, despite knowing they are just as accessible to criminals as law enforcement. Several compliance guidelines are all about gathering data and storing it, building troves of targets.

There is literally no punishment for security negligence. We had OPM lose personal data of Government employees for no reason other than massive incompetence, and they basically said "whoops". Plenty of websites have had major credit card breaches and current legal framework allows them to sue people that report vulnerabilities, without ever being at fault.

You can't make something "unhackable", you can do a lot better than currently is in place.

everyone i know who has met him calls him a complete cunt.

>Why does Veeky Forums hate this man?

>Veeky Forums is one person

how new?

I feel this has been lost over the years.
F

>he thinks gunz and murder rate are correlated

Affirmative action strikes again

This. kek

He literally spouts leftist rhetoric on TV and redditfags suck his dick.

Yep

If he were a scientist of any repute, he'd refrain from giving a weighted opinion on science he obviously knows nothing about

But no, like any celebrity, he gives canned political statements over things he knows nothing about

>in 1937, at age 81, claimed in a letter to have completed a "dynamic theory of gravity" that "[would] put an end to idle speculations and false conceptions, as that of curved space." He stated that the theory was "worked out in all details" and that he hoped to soon give it to the world.[215] Further elucidation of his theory was never found in his writings.
Jesus Christ, how embarrassing.
