The good thing about Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Twitter feed is that it’s ridiculous, whether you believe him or not.
Case in point:
The good thing about Science is that it’s true, whether or not you believe in it.

Say what?
Hey, we’re not scientists or experts but we’re pretty sure that’s not how science works.
Bro.
Take it from Steak-umm:

And this is one of the few remaining reasons Twitter is even remotely bearable. A delicious, salty, yummy, product schooling an egomaniacal ‘scientist’ saying stupid crap on social media. It’s just not something you see every day, you know?
Steak-umm continued:
the irony of neil’s tweet is that by framing science itself as “true” he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma. no matter his intent, this message isn’t helpful https://t.co/sf4zLm33Jm

What they said.
obligatory thread to remind people that we’re a brand selling products (https://t.co/twW6laKOCp check it out) so everything we do is based in self interest to grow our business

Fair point.
And another great thread if you are so inclined.
you must have changed social media personnel

Nah, this honestly seems pretty ‘in character’ for their feed.
nope. science itself isn't "true" it's a constantly refining process used to uncover truths based in material reality and that process is still full of misteaks. neil just posts ridiculous sound bites like this for clout and he has no respect for epistemology

Nailed it.
Are you selling frozen beef or the scientific method?
Because I like both, just no onions on one of them, please.
