Is Bill Nye A Fake Science Peddler?
A new "science" show on Netflix titled "Bill Nye Saves the World" has been met with intense criticism by viewers and professional critics alike.
On IMDB, Nye's show has received a 3.6/10 rating with over 3,000 votes as of the posting of this article.
Here is a sample of some of the most popular reviews:
Needless to say, the overall consensus is pretty obvious and not very flattering.
One segment from "Bill Nye Saves the World" features Rachel Bloom singing a song called "Sex Junk" which appears to promote a multi-gender narrative, which is supposedly backed by science.
On the CrazyCod YouTube channel, the video has received over 1.1 million views. Surprisingly enough, it has only received 1,383 upvotes while getting an astounding 84,247 downvotes!
Watch the video below (if you dare):
In Nye's 13th episode titled "Earth's People Problem," he starts off by talking about human consumption while comparing it to "sponges soaking up water." He continues by explaining how women who are educated and have access to professional opportunities tend to have fewer children.
"When women are in power, they have fewer children, and more resources can be devoted to those children. It's not rocket surgery. It's science," he said.
Who is Bill Nye?
According to his Wikipedia page:
"William Sanford "Bill" Nye (born November 27, 1955), popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science educator, television presenter, and mechanical engineer. He is best known as the host of the PBS children's science show Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–1998), and for his many subsequent appearances in popular media as a science educator.
"He studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University (where he took an astronomy class taught by Carl Sagan) and graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering in 1977."
So, even though Bill Nye is a self-proclaimed "Science Guy," he is not an actual scientist and only holds a baccalaureate degree in mechanical engineering.
His previous PBS show in the 1990s seemed to take on a more simplistic, whimsical and non-political/social justice oriented approach, involving real science backed up by experiments instead of just claims and ridiculous dialogue. This most likely resulted in his popularity and rise to fame.
It now appears his scientific approach has regressed in "Bill Nye Saves the World," which has devolved into raunchy skits, round table discussions and little scientific experimentation or valid explanations.
At this point, the question remains: Is Nye now promoting pseudoscience instead of real science to push a certain leftist/progressive narrative?
Well, if he is, it appears it's going to be an uphill battle considering the ratings for his new show are pretty abysmal.
