Nye cannot be anti-intellectual while promoting an interest in science for millions of people. I think you are the one on a dogmatic trip regarding science purity.

Like:

You cannot respect what you don't understand. Asking them to respect it, without understanding it, is just promoting dogma.

I'm sorry what? If I go somewhere and there's a religious ceremony or something, I cannot respect it out of ignorance? If your mother dies I cannot respect that for it has not happened to me? If you tell me you are a neuroscientist top of your field, I should mock your opinion because of my general ignorance on the subject?

Still though, I do agree with some of what you said, it is bad to turn science into an idol, at most we should idealize scientific thinking, not past results for example. And as for the video I shared, I've seen a couple others from this kid and they are decent, although yes, not a lot of production value and not amazing stuff perhaps.

Bill Nye is a useful idiot who pushes other peoples political agendas: http://www.blacklistednews.com/Bill_Nye%3A_'We_need_carbon_tax_to_redistribute_wealth...need_gov't_to_run_things...everyone_else_should_shut_up'/42984/0/38/38/Y/M.html

He is very much anti-science, anti-intellectual, and uses SJW to get people to side with him (mere dogma, no intention to dissect or discuss).
