I can die happy someone took a legit scientist and instead of retorting him, wrote a diss track as a rebuttal.
 
> Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Probably more worthy of a thread for being a no-fun-allowed autistic try hard and spending way too much time on Twitter for someone seemingly so important.

I mean does him going "The space travel in Star Wars is a bit dubious" really effect your enjoyment of the movie? I'd hate on the people writing endless thinkpieces about the guy before blaming the dude himself.

Back to B.o.B. Vice had a little article talking about him and conspiracies in hip hop in general. Decent little read.

Fucking magnets... how do they work?

Some rappers have pretty solid business acumen, but I've never heard of one that was good at science.

Not into star wars personally but I'd hope a scientist had more important things to do with their time than sperg out on twitter about hollywood special effects and sci fi

Wasn't that something related to Naziism?

It's a magical energy source wielded by Utopian molemen that can do anything, basically. It's originally from a unrelated novel named Vril: the Power of the Coming Race. However, Morning of the Magicians, published in the 1960s, introduced and popularized the idea of a (ahistorical) Vril Society behind the Nazis.

Thus, Vril entered into the mythology and trappings of Neo-Nazism.

It gets him views and appearances on talk shows. Which leads to more money. I'm all for making that guap. Oh and a tweet going "Yo, saw this headline and the world isn't flat #StayWoke" or "Yo, Star Trek's space travel seems off" takes seconds out of a day. More time for science and shit.

Literally who?

The biggest thing that puzzles me is what is his explanation for NASA trying to cover up the earth being round? Like how does it affect anybody at all?

Tyson can be a bit obnoxious, but he is a world class ambassador for science.

That's really his job, which is what I think a lot of people forget. He isn't primarily a research scientist (though of course he does some of this as well); he is primarily working to promote public awareness and appreciation of science. This is an extremely valuable contribution to the scientific community and society as a whole. And, one of the best ways to reach people is via social media.
 
For those complaining about the "no celebrities" rule, this dude hasn't been relevant in like five years. I accept this thread.
 
B.o.B. seems to have taken his first steps down the crazy black conspiracy guy trail that his black panther brothers cut for him in the 60's. I'm wondering how long until he starts talking about Afrocentrism and melanin theory.

I've never seen a dis-track written about a scientist before though.

I do kind of agree that Tyson is a bit of a autist/euphoric atheist who seems to rely be enjoying his fame a bit too much.
 
From the dis track: "A cult called science"

He means the cult that developed the equipment that he uses to record his shitty music?
 
BoB is manufacturing a controversy to become famous again. Tyson never misses an opportunity to grandstand so he's loving it from his side.

Weird history sperg ahoy...
The nazis also believed a super race using "vril energy" dwelt under the earth. And naturally, this race were all seven foot tall and blonde.
I recall reading that Adolf made veiled references to "overmen" in private speeches, and sent SS to Tibet to seek clues about them...

I thought the mysticism was kinda limited to the Thule Society and not Nazis in general
 
Can someone tell me why NASA and world governments would spend time making us think the world is round? Where is the payoff? They did it just to sit back and giggle at us as we go about our days thinking the earth is a ball?
 
I went back on his twitter and looks like the flat earth thing is just a hobby, what he really has a boner for is human cloning.

Seems many of the high-ranking SS and party leaders were into it...Himmler had a castle in Bavaria where he performed occult ceremonies and boned nazi groupies.

And set up the Ahnenerbe, an organization under the SS that was tasked with digging up evidence for the historical and racial theories in vogue. I've understood the nutcases this organization employed were the link between the Nazi government and all this Vril, "soul of the race", "eternal mission of the Aryans" bullshit the Thule society, Helena Blavatsky and others made up during the interwar period. I don't think it's ever been established if Heinrich really believed this shit or if he just saw it as a better political tool than Christianity.

All of which makes it even funnier that a black American rapper is drinking from the same well.
