algroth Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) So money made him realize he was wrong the first time around? Mmm, the two are not mutually exclusive. See epigenetics for example. True, but gender in particular is a broader term that encompasses more than just biological sex and deals with matters social, cultural, psychological and so on, which can be determined by a biological factor as much as it can by others. Anyhow I'll drop this since it isn't the thread to discuss the matter.

True, but gender in particular is a broader term that encompasses more than just biological sex and deals with matters social, cultural, psychological and so on, which *can* be determined by a biological factor as much as it can by others. Anyhow I'll drop this since it isn't the thread to discuss the matter. well, its up to definition, it was usually used as synonym for sex, but it seems people like to redefine this word lately at least in my language there is only one word for sex = gender, we have something which is called 'rod' which is used in grammar (she,he,it) I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

All the same the difference between the terms, though slight, exists in English, and while I woudn't mind people using the words interchangeably in a day-to-day basis (because, despite this post, I'm not pedantic about it), you expect them to be used accurately in a context like a science show (or one attributed to a science show anyhow).

rjshae Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 You don't know who Bill Nye is? He actually got his start around these parts (Seattle), and we saw him on the popular local comedy show Almost Live. Quite the humorous guy, and his science presentations were almost always entertaining. Unfortunately, as of late he gets a lot of negative press from the anti-science types. A sign of these recidivistic times, I guess. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 You don't know who Bill Nye is? Does having a US syndicated TV show for 5 years really lead to world-wide recognition? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 You don't know who Bill Nye is? Does having a US syndicated TV show for 5 years really lead to world-wide recognition? I'd say his internet presence has stretched out a bit farther than that at this point. He's basically a step behind Neil Degrasse Tyson and Stephen Hawking in terms of recognizability in Science. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically a step behind Neil Degrasse Tyson and Stephen Hawking in terms of recognizability in Science. To be fair, you'd have to have an interest in science and facts to start with.

rjshae Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 I just googled the guy. He is not even a scientist. You placing this kids show host with Stephen Hawking is mind boggling. I think I asked this before, but aren't you supposed to be a teacher? How low are the education standards in USA? 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
