Ooh this talk is a hidden gem. This talk is has some great tips for how to overcome personal bias and cognitive distortions. Independence of thought is something that can be cultivated. Thanks for sharing!

[@HopDavid]

And yet Tyson's fans swallow his false history with no questions asked. Neither Tyson nor his fans use these "great tips". Far from exercising skepticism Tyson's fans are horribly credulous and lacking in critical think skills.

[@kateforgach2553]

@hopdavid False history is anything that’s factual and inclusive. To MAGAs, true history is only for White, primarily male bigots, misogynists and LGBTQ+ haters.

Dr. Tyson is a hero beyond all iconic human beings. Reading his book "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" I've been introduced to other astrophysicists Michio Kaku, Avi Loeb, and Jim Al-Khalili. With that I'm greatful for him and his works.

Coz they still believe that no matter what crime suspect do, they would still be true to their personal truths(which the authorities have thought up themselves) or its just to show the judge, about the suspect (if hes found lying) how guilty of a suspect he'd be.

About 45 minutes in Tyson claimed the fundamental issue with modern education was that rather than feeding curiosity it is "being handed a sachel of books containing information, which you must then memorize, and regurgitate" I literally said that, almost word for word in school and I was told by my principal when I repeated it "that is the educational system, how else would you propose we teach you?" with a smug and entertainined smile. I wish that this was a genuine question rather than a mere dismissal . It's taken over a decade for me to have a genius like Neil confirm my belief that this form of education is fundamentally flawed. Educators can be some of the best and worst people in your life. I resent the ones I had, but not having met them. I learned from their cognitive weakness rather than feeding into it. They will be dead and they will not have pressed their beliefs because they know them to be untrue. I will live on and I will press that which I believe because I believe them to be based on fact.

[@Teo117]

Dr. Tyson, I have a theory that all living creatures (including plants) are capable of a conscious and emotions. I have experienced communication and understanding personally with plants, animals, and insects. I can see communication in plants with my 20/20 eyes, by using my peripheral vision and watching the leaves/branches that move in sync. I believe that the motion made by a plant with a gust of wind, is the will of the plant and not the happenstance of the wind gust. I wish to speak with an enlightened mind upon these topics to better understand the world we are in. I am a follower of Karma. I send you my best wishes.

[@chelseaw9009]

I suspect he would ask if you’ve a) considered whether there are other reasons for the phenomena you’re observing, b) come up with a hypothesis and then applied scientific methodology to test your assumptions, and c) consider your bias. I say this because the predominant proof you’re using to communicate these views is your 20/20 vision (which people commonly overestimate in its reliability), your experience (which is entirely subjective) and your belief (which is commonly completely misaligned with objective fact - as described in this video). I am interested in plant science and am not writing off your theory - but suggest you consider the above. You might also be interested in the mycelium studies which were incredibly cool and showed plants could prioritise energy to their own offspring. It would probably go too far to assume this is evidence of ‘will’ or conscious intelligence though, so you might also enjoy looking at natural selection in more detail. There is an amazing video on KZbin where a programmer created an amazing demonstration of natural selection with a simulated colony of pixels. When I saw how the tiny colony behaved (not just change - literal behaviour changes) I was blown away by it. However after further explanation and demonstration it was clear that the pixels weren’t exhibiting certain behaviours by choice or intelligence. The forces of natural selection, in my opinion, are just as amazing and wondrous when I consider what’s possible. Edit: the video I reference above is by Davidrandallmiller, entitled ‘I programmed some creatures. They evolved’. Truly incredible

[@Teo117]

@ I appreciate your thoughtful response. I understand the valid skepticism though also recognize it requires an individual aware and with knowledge to perform further testing, as 2 years dictates I have not found a person to test with. Though my own experience has developed with these interactions. Recognizing as well the reactions plants have towards perceived threats, or unfamiliar beings. I see plants as having memory, as I can see when I am recognized by a portion of the forest. While it may sound of insanity, it is subjective. Each person has their relationship not only with the understanding of what’s natural, but also with the living creatures that inhabit that space. More research is definitely necessary. Though beyond direct communication there is difficulty providing “evidence” that can be universally agreed. I love that you put real thought into your reply, even if 2 years old. Cool reference towards the video of a programmer effectively displaying a process of natural selection and evolution. I have a thought towards this understanding, if plants were as sentient as we are, without question. How would it change our eating habits and understanding of life? Would it matter? Or simply be another food source that we keep too undereducated to communicate or formulate a valid thought?

She should have asked him how people develop biases. Where do personal biases come from and why?

[@navinraut5920]

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - Tathagata Buddha

I'm sorry he chose a bias. The story About his sister. How does he KNOW the reception made a mistake or that his sister didn't hear things right. You can't make EVRYTHING A bias.

[@cirkymunk]

Exactly! He kinda discredited his explanation.

[@ronmarshall725]

I think he is absolutely correct about critical thinking being the only way forward. I was excited about purchasing the master class for my son and nephews. But, it is also true that his biases aee showing in this video! Everywhere he gives and example / analogy of personal truth or bias it is from a political left perspective. It actually wouldn't have been that difficult to stay neutral and make the same points about objective truths.

[@chelseaw9009]

Skepticism is an important part of critical thinking but it needs to be paired with consideration of the context. For example - if the objective here is to simply provide an _example_ of bias the story could be entirely made up. It could be about how hedgehogs think porcupines are the most disgusting creatures on the world, for the purposes of providing an example. Given this, we can assume the sister heard correctly and the receptionist really said that without needing to question it unnecessarily. However - if he were making an evidentiary statement to try and persuade us of something then it would be appropriate to consider the veracity or other explanations. I don’t see much evidence of that though, so take this at face value as a simple example. Do you have rational reason to believe he is actually trying to manipulate us? If not, it may be worth considering if this is your own biases at play.

The problème with science : you dont have time. You must believe. The instruments you use to take measures, you must learn about how they work and what they measure. You must believe in what the conceptor of the instruments tells you it does. Plus, a principle of science is that an experiment should be reproducible, but for that you need the instruments, the time, the team, the money , and hell how the instruments are costly. Those things are not accessible for the common public. Even in universities you have agendas of different people who need the same instrument for their own research, and sometimes or often they fight each others for that. Not counting the universities who don't have money to have instruments at all.

the only reason ppl believe in theoretical physics is to believe in authority. they look at hubble data, see a rising line and call it acceleration. they don't understand what they mean by: the farther out we look, the further back in time we are seeing. this is a word problem. some event we see at 65 million light years (20 MPc) happened 65 million years ago. the 1929 data shows the highest recessional velocity at that time. the same graph shows at time 0, the origin on the graph, the velocity of everything is 0. they are reading their data backwards and call it dark energy, authoritatively! quantum physics and relativity have similar authoritative problems!
