I’m seeing a bunch of Conservatives on Facebook admiring Terrance Howard.
What the heck, anyone know what is happening? He’s seriously a whacko, right? Is there something about him that’s real, or are Conservatives just continuing to lose their marbles.
Obligate link for Neil deGrasse Tyson’s academic analysis of Terrence Howard’s “research paper” he tried to publish: Invidious or YouTube. Neil gave him constructive criticism with the goal of helping him improve his understanding of science. Yet, that’s not how he took it, and the content of the paper truly demonstrates how the field of science is FULLY not within Terrance’s wheelhouse. His “understanding” of science should only be used to help others new to the field see the benefits and reasons for the scientific method.
From the comments on that:
“When someone is offended their hypothesis was rejected, they prove they weren’t looking for the truth, they were looking to be right.”
Sums up a lot of pseudoscience bullshit pretty well
All NDG did was make sure that Terrence will never seek his opinion or advice again. He probably could have put Terrence on the right path if he would have used a softer approach. Instead he just told him all the ways he was wrong. Know your audience.
