Nye is more of if an educator than scientist. A lot like your average science teacher in high school.
Dolph is usually posted in this manner to put down Nye’s support for climate research, anti creationism, and other ‘political’ stands.

Wait why? Does he not support those views?
El_guapazo@lemmy.world 55 minutes ago
His views are easily found online. I’m commenting on the side by side comic meme and its implications.

What do you guys think is so special about a scientist.
They measure things and record them really well. They apply scientific principles and such.
They use lab equipment and usually have a very narrow scope on the things they are working on.
Do you think every scientist gets a noble or something?
Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
Scientist isn’t a thing. It’s like artist, a self-designation.
Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
No, its a thing, people have the title “scientist.” Its just a job, tho.

He’s explicit about being a science communicator and welcomes that discussion.
Blueberrydreamer@lemmynsfw.com 3 hours ago
Based on what exactly? I’ve gone to one of his events, he’s pretty explicit about being a science educator. I can’t say I’ve seen him claim otherwise anywhere, though people definitely like to put those words in his mouth.

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.

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.

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.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 hours ago
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.
Krauerking@lemy.lol 6 hours ago
Having personally interacted with him more times than I would like, and it was only 3, he’s just a massive jerk, and a self assured belittler.
He doesn’t respect people. I’m not sure he respects anyone other than those that can make his image better, and then it’s conditional and stops when they aren’t useful.

Source or GTFO. Spreading rumours about people is a shitty thing to do.
ceenote@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I’ll be nice, but nobody owes it to you to source everything they say or look things up for you. Googling isn’t hard.

There was a clickbait NY Post article that I’d never link to, this article(archive) is more even handed.

And he is a big Trump and Putin supporter. Fuck him.
TheBat@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
I could only find this:
nymag.com/…/dolph-lundgren-putin-sniper-rifles-in…
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?

There’s no evidence for that anywhere. Always ask for a source.

IQ 160, speaks 6 lenguages, Black Belt in several martial arts, in the making of the Rocky movie, Stallone wanted for realism that Lundgreen give him a real punch, after this he woke up in the hospital.

Instead, Lundgren found himself at the centre of one of New York’s most romanticised periods. He dabbled in modelling but was too tall and big for most gigs. He earned a basic wage alongside Chazz Palminteri as a bouncer on the door of Manhattan’s Limelight Club. By night, he hung out with Keith Haring, Iman and Steve Rubell. By morning, [Garace] Jones would bring back as many as five girls for group sex, an activity he describes as “exhausting”. He was a regular at both Studio 54 and the Factory, and Andy Warhol would invite him to do a photoshoot with Jones. But not before Warhol asked him: ‘What are you famous for?’
“It was certainly a shock for this young engineering student,” he says. “I’m pleased to have been part of that scene. It was right before Aids, and the club scene was hardcore. And my girlfriend, Grace, was a big gay icon, so we went to a lot of the clubs. We knew Andy and all the designers, and Michael Jackson and David Bowie. It was simpler in those days somehow. And fun. Entertainment wasn’t corporate in the way entertainment is now. A lot of the people I met back then are not alive anymore. You know, Aids or drugs or a combination of the two. Its bittersweet looking back. Even with Andy. I thought he was an old man at the time but he died in his 50s.”

What about a masters in engineering and a bachelor’s in chemistry makes him even double more qualified? Yeah, maybe if he had a doctorate you could make that argument, but you could easily learn and do as much science work in 6 years outside of a university than you would in a BS and MS program at a university.
