Yes or No? Why?
>>16854668>Should science be propagated to the uneducated?Absolutely yes.>Simplified A bit but you can't explain things without math, it's better to show the formula and say "Spin emerges from the Angular momentum operator" than tons of words that don't mean anything
>>16854668Popsci news are already doing that and as a consequence all the uneducated schizo retards think they are smarter than the actual scientists. So no, make science more inaccessible and leave the retards with tiktok reels about onions making hair grow or something.
>>16854668If you're a smart kid, you'll find your way into STEM naturally and you won't need the shiny and flashy infographics or trivia slop to convince you that you made a wise choice. The great sin of pop-science imo is the avoidance of math. Take QM for example; The confusion around wave-particle duality is cleared up once one understands the Laplace and Fourier transforms. The cost of shoving math under the carpet is necessary when attempting to maximize your reach as a science communicator.Is this a good thing in the grand scheme? Not really. Gate keeping isn't this great evil that many believe it to be; It's necessary for quality assurance. Just look at DEI and what a fucking mess it is in academia and the corporate world.'A+'s recruit 'A+'s, while 'A's recruit 'B's and 'B's recruit 'D's out of fear of being outshined and having to swallow the bitter pill that they just aren't the best.

>>16854712By schizo I mean that as a sign of respect
>>16854668Sub-130 IQs shouldn't even be taught how to read and write. Below a certain threshold of intelligence, all knowledge is propaganda and more knowledge makes you easier to brainwash.
>>16854668>simplified only if its complexity is not useful or necessary, otherwise no, it should be propagated to the willing, not to everyone, that is of no use, however give wings to the willing and he will fly, give them to the one who wants to remain on the ground and they'd be a nuisance for him
>>16854668>”simplified”It isn’t “simplified”, it’s just wrong.What is taught to the public is not a compressed version of the truth, it’s effectively indistinguishable from fiction, it’s so false it doesn’t even give people the right intuition using heuristic thinking. The only purpose is to give the public the impression they understand and support funding.
Depends on the subject some things just can't be simplified because the intelligence of the general masses isn't on par and the subject has a lot of prerequisites but if the communicator is good enough they can give a good general picture of the topic and it's common misconceptions/alt views if there are any.
>>16854668at least two of those are glowing
>>16854668Maybe, but not like that.>>16854682More like this. Don't like maths? Fuhhhhgedaboudit then normies.
>>16854668You can't vote for what you don't understand.
>>16854720Roof, oh roof.

>>16854668>veritasiumyou mean the american military propaganda guy who has useless videos about their military projects or bases? the one who disses on every useful analogy or even the concept of a mathematical model just so he can say “at the quantum level this is what REALLY happens…” like all of classical physics is completely invalid? the paid shill for EVs and analog computing?
I respect veritasium. Michael needs to be launched into the sunDunno who the third isLast is a grifting faggot with physics girl
no
>>16854682You dont really explain anything with math, you can describe things with it tho. Explanations for the general public don't require any math.
>>16855389Ah yes. The Freemason Walt Disney forcing children to watch esoteric symbolism under the guise of an educational cartoon.
>>16855777A full house tonight. Fives and sevens, just as you requested.
>>16854747To be fair, scientists are wrong all the time and a growing number of them fake their data these days. Modem particle physics and cosmology are basically high fantasy at this point
>>16854668Yes, but>"Simplified" as translating journal publication academic autismo text into plain EnglishOk>"Simplified" as reducing concepts to their "more accessible" analogies. Not ok
>>16854668wasnt the leftmost guy in that bill nye show about how sex is a spectrum pseudoscience propaganda?
>>16854668Veritasium is called Derek Muller???!!?lol he has a loser name
>>16854747You must really hate PBS Spacetime and Matt O'Dowd then, I assume.
