Neil deGrasse Tyson On Objective Truths In Politics 😳

[VacuumTube]

Unfortunatly ordinary education and literacy is not enough (is of great importance though), Socrates warned us about democracy, he argued that voting is a skill that had to be trained, honed, otherwise people would be vulnerable to the demagogues.

[ramonarellano]

And that is why the phrase "I love uneducated people" comes out !.

[darrenmclaughlin]

Too many people are happy being told what to think.

[alaaalaaa]

that's the main weakness of democracy.... people can vote for their own distraction out of ignorance

[mattmorris]

Jefferson talked about the people needing education so that they can make smart choices into democracy. He also made provisions for schools in future territories of the United States of America

[Grabbabba]

Unfortunately we live in a world where ignorance is bliss.

[randomgaminginc.]

Too many people confuse objective and subjective these days.

[nunyabizness]

This is why the founders wrote the constitution.

[Sienisota]

This is why education is so important, and should always include Internet literacy.

[JPK]

unfortunately we live in a world now where some instagram clown can say shit like "raw milk is healthy" or "sunscreen causes cancer" or whatever and millions will believe that without questions

[dukethegamer]

Unfortunately it seems too late. There essentially showing off how corrupt they are and people still smile and ask for more

[OregonDARRYL]

You don't "give" me freedom. You can only take it.

Intelligent people want to keep learning more every day. be open minded and curious and constantly add to what you know. Come up with good questions and seek the answers. Your increasing knowledge is your reward.

[jtremblay]

This is why trump and his enablers hate Tyson. Tyson is intelligent and uses objective information to guide his thinking.

[zachrhoden]

80% of Americans are literate but also 56% read at or below a 6th grade level. The metric for literacy is 5th grade lmfaooo

[alidemirbas]

That’s exactly what happened at my country Turkiye. Dude won with %52 with all that bad desicions. No wonder why we say “Half this country consists of sheeps”.

[chaseconklin]

I like this phrase I feel like it is true " an uninformed majority will most to always lose to an informed minority"

[neilbond]

That is the exact issue in America. And it ain't getting better

[johnalexir]

NDT is right, but the trouble is, people who are attached to their religion also think that it's 'true whether others believe (in) it or not'. Science obviously has testability and falsifiability on its side, and religions do not, but if people are determined to not allow for that then the point he's making has more practical limitations than it should.

I pray every citizen sees & hears this clip
