MasterClass Live with Neil deGrasse Tyson | MasterClass

Neil deGrasse Tyson was just nine years old when he became fascinated by the mysteries of the cosmos. Today he’s known worldwide for inspiring others to consider the world-and the universe-around us. The astrophysicist, director at the world-renowned Hayden Planetarium in New York City, and science influencer has been a powerful advocate for science literacy with a popular television series and the NYT-bestselling book Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. He’s been awarded the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Public Welfare Medal for his “extraordinary role in exciting the public about the wonders of science.” Now he’s teaching you how he connects with audiences around the world.

Holy jesus so MasterClass is a live show?? Holy Cow im in

[@bugs1momma1]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
