To be quite honest I support this sentiment. I really don't think people with no academic credentials should be allowed to talk about science or math. In my opinion, anything less than a PhD and it should be illegal to make science videos.

I know this sounds mean because maybe the guy is good but let us never forget that Bill Nye was also a good guy. I think the problem is that people with no academic reputation to protect have no incentive to tell the truth. They will call any sensationalist garbage "science" to make money.

Yes. Misinformation can harm science. At the top with the experts, misinformation almost never spreads because everyone is wary and critical of everyone's else's work.

But at the bottom, where the plebs like you are, misinformation spreads like wildfire because you are retarded. Ever heard of "fake news"? Exactly.

That does not affect hard sciences like math, physics and chemistry. Because we have numbers to back up our words. And we have research reproducibility of back up our numbers. And if we are all experts then we can all falsify everyone else's experiments and find who is lying.

I paid for my degree and I spent the hours learning it. He didn't. What does he have? Nothing. I'm better by default, and my college degree is proof of it.

That's the only thing that matters in this world, he's just not college educated and thus totally irrelevant to larger society. He's from a minority of stupid uneducated people that are dying off while the rest of society progresses on. Why would anyone want to listen to someone without a college degree especially on a topic that literally requires one to have any sort of respectable employment. It's lunacy and YT shouldn't allow it, especially when people like him promote pseudoscience and anti-intellectualism.

Nor do I think he ever will, he's to principled. At least not knowingly or on purpose.

The results only matter if it's from a reputable source. I'm not going to believe something someone says until I know who they are, who they work for and what their credentials are. There is no reason to EVER take science advice from someone without a degree in science. It's like taking car advice from someone who doesn't have a mechanical engineering degree, or family planning advice from someone without a family psychology degree.

It all comes down to authority, and in science Academia's word is supreme. No academic credentials, no say. This is done to prevent the stupid /pol/tard masses from destroying everything with their /x/ tier bullshit. It's also why France has more science innovation than USA, because we don't allow our political system to be hijacked by jerks.

Bill Nye doesn't have a PHD. He's actually an actor.

Also lots of people with PHDs falsify information. In fact, there is more of an incentive for paid researchers to lie because it pays more.

Unpaid people like me do research as a hobby. To be fair, I typically only read what people have done and such. Also, at least in my case, I am an enthusiast. I know people who don't like their job, and thus are less likely to give effort in their work.

According to most mainstream academics IQ tests don't predict anything and human races dom't exist. mostly because they don't study the relevant fields but are trying to enforce an ideological position.

He was so qualified, he did a scientific experiment to see how long he could stare at the sun by staring at the sun until he lost his vision for a day. Newton had a degree in natural philosophy, and was an avid alchemist. Nothing he did relied on him having a degree.

It doesn't matter if he's wrong or right, he doesn't have the basic authority to talk seriously about these issues. He needs to sit down and learn his place. Again it is a matter of Academic Integrity and Honesty, if anyone could just say things without a degree there'd be chaos and no scientific progress. We have standards for a reason. Maybe one snake oil doctor out of ten isn't selling poison, but that doesn't make any snake oil salesmen right.

And again, he has no college degree. People without degrees are totally irrelevant in global affairs, he has no value like all non college educated peoples are. College is the great filter of society, it determines who is management and who is the worker.

Nice strawman.
First, you are wrong. Even under your logic everyone else with a degree in rhetoric could argue. But you are still doing a strawman.

You are implying that things like arguing are as important as sensitive as science. They aren't. Science and math are on a whole different level from other areas of expertise because someone who pushes fake science and has the authority to make people believe it, can cause great harm. There is a reason why government regulations exist all over the place in science. To be sure that only the most qualified experts can do certain things.

Or do you agree that if some random hillbilly wants to make money he can just start a nuclear a power plant in his town and just see what happens.

WRONG! And in the case of science education, it is the same thing. A lot of malicious people like >>>/pol/ and Bill Nye have incentives to push fake science and what is the easiest way to silence these kinds of people? Requiring that

1) You have an expert degree in the field you want to talk about
2) You have an academic reputation to uphold so that if you push fake science it would do more harm to you than benefit.

i am and you are living proof i'm rights, sweet cheeks ;^)

>Science and math are on a whole different level
yes because they use formal notation and language. However, Science, math, and rhetoric all use logic as their foundations. Rhetoric is the art of persuasion through logic and banter.

You keep appealing to authority, something along the lines of "you need a degree in x in order to talk about x", and sure having a degree in x may make you a better candidate to explain the fineries and specifics of x, or to better understand it. But to be honest, anyone can explain x with less-than-expert knowledge. For example, gravity. I don't need to be a physicist to explain how gravity works, though it most definitely does help. My statement is a reflection of your own poor logic: "if you don't have a degree in then you can't use x". So since i have a degree in rhetoric and you do not, you have no right to talk at all!

>Or do you agree that if some random hillbilly wants to make money he can just start a nuclear a power plant in his town and just see what happens.
nice strawman dude XDDDDD 1!!1!
let's be honest for a sec, no one would know how to build a nuclear reactor unless they already understand the principles and application behind it. I made a deteurium fusions reactor for fun just the other day and the extend of my physics education is 1st year undergrad.

>blah blah blah blah silence these kinds of people?
you shouldn't silence anyone anon. Let fools speak as though they are experts, and then prove them wrong. One anon once tried to pretend they knew what a compiler was by using a string of random CS words, all it took to prove them wrong was to define some of the wording. And if an anon holds a mistaken understanding of antimatter, just correct them, don't shut em up. Authoritarian speech control is for retarded basement dwellers and gay communists.

How deluded are you? Yes, to gain employment in many fields a degree is required. Certainly not always though, and there are still many fucking retards with a diploma. How have you convinced yourself so much of the fact that your 4-10 years of paying to take tests and listen to lectures actually makes you a superior being to someone who reads books and listens to recorded lectures and performs their own experiments for a similar amount of time? Like, I don't know, every person who had a say and mattered in your field to the point where going to fucking college was made possible BY THEM. And targeting science related channels is just stupid. Look at how many "fitness" channels there are that just spout garbage about nutrition and supplements to way more impressionable teenagers than fucking popsci channels. Even makeup vloggers promote veganism to MILLIONS of girls. What about all of the cancerous tranny genderstudies buzzfeed type videos out there that toddlers can turn on and be confused by. What about channels for programming that don't have a CS degree!? OMG. Are you also mad that there are thousands of young teenagers who got a GED or got into college long before you earned your treasured high school diploma? What the fuck are you doing with your degree that is so important and teaching fucking youtube viewers the TRUE FACTUAL LAWS OF REALITY THAT YOU CAN'T LEARN OUTSIDE OF UNIVERSITY????

As long as you follow scientific method, you're a scientist. Science requires no education and no authority. It's not gated.
A caveman banging rocks together just to see what was inside when they broke = the first scientist.

If the dude's coming out and talking about a PhD he has, and tries to pass that off as authority, then he's obviously full of shit. There's no reason, however, that a backyard scientist shouldn't have as much say in the scientific community as someone with 7 PhDs - as long as what they say is factually accurate.
