Everything about Neil DeGrasse Tyson's latest StarTalk screams "I wouldn't like the lemmyverse" (sh.itjust.works)

Ever since its concenption, those of us who use the lemmyverse (maybe not me) have administrated it based on all of the very things he says we should watch out for in his latest StarTalk.

Every. Last. Thing.

Ironically (to use an example) all these points he brings up also converged in the "Leni drama" where the accusers who were bringing up all these different points and invalidating people with the opposite points now look really awkward in hindsight, especially the unapologetic ones. Proof that the masses can be in the wrong.

You dropped something.

@Jedikkeneus@sh.itjust.works what does the video have to do with lemmy? He doesn't mention it once.

He mentions flaws in the way people do things which can then be applied to it.

What doesn't it apply to?

Most things are relevant to certain points, but most things also aren't relevant to all the points.

Those are words but you're saying nothing at all. "It depends" isn't a serious answer. Everything depends on something.

Not what I was saying (and why be so objectivist when you don't understand something).

Most things (as in anything you might be thinking of) is relevant to certain points (in the lecture), but most things (as in anything you might be thinking of) aren't relevant to all the points (there are twelve points; most things are relevant to a few points).

More word-drivel. Are you passing this through an LLM?

No. Have you? There's something concerning here if the spotlight in the conversation is on someone thinking there's no difference between subjectively being unable to understand something and something being objectively difficult to understand.
