I think that's Captain Crunch but I understand your point, although Captain Kangaroo and Captain Crunch are fictional characters. While I agree with your claims about him, he doesn't consider himself an actor. He portrays himself as a serious scientist, and others hold him out as such when he agrees with them. Nye in particular portrays himself as an expert on climate change. The kids show was just the beginning, he has moved way beyond that into adult science books, programs and organizations.

But then again it was just a meme, which are meant to poke fun, often to contrast absurdities in our culture. Many times they take a grain of truth and magnify it. They aren't to be taken seriously.

I know someone who worked on Nye’s show. Relative to actual scientists, Nye is a nitwit.

Not where I’d go for scientific backing for public policy. The actual climate scientists have been very clear, and mostly accurate.

Or, if you prefer, you could ask Doctor Science. He knows more than you do.

Yo, the hospital wouldn't let me in without a rapid test up my nose ((brain)) so I will wait and pray and not pay to play to see my dying best friend. I watched first 10 seconds of this video and it's not for me at all. I like this one from Truth. It's only .17 seconds.

And Tucker Carlson portrays himself as a news reporter, an honest broker of fact. Which we all know he is not. Serious scientist and serious news reporters don’t do media entertainment shows, but they will do guest appearances.

I'm OK with having these subject matter experts sitting at the table, but they're too myopic to be driving policy. One of Trump's biggest mistakes was allowing Fauci to continue to drive the Covid bus after the 1st couple months.

Little while ago I said it was important to have the science insulated from the policy. Some people laughed. I don't care about Fauci and I sure don't give a rat's ass about Trump. But the people collecting data and conducting experiments need to be insulated from policymakers. Myopic is actually a focus on the next election cycle. And that's the way it's supposed to be. If you are looking at it the other way around ask yourself, "well, why did Trump keep Fauci"?

Some meme fits your lighthearted view. Much does not. It is purposely created and injected into social media to drive polarization. Ever wonder where a lot of that stuff comes from and who takes the time to make it?

If people are being polarized by memes we have much greater problems than polarization. But I guess its possible that its the same people that get paralyzingly offended by Gervais and Chappelle.

No, the memes don't create polarization. But they have evolved into simple but effective tools to amplify and steer it towards desired directions. Lenny Bruce, that comedic genre, being offensive in a subversive way to get people uncomfortable, push social commentary, that's different. Meme is just a unit of culture. But it is increasingly being used by state actors in a manipulative way; a more sophisticated version of leaflets dropped from planes. And it is just one of several such tools for information warfare. A divisive news story hits, count the moments before the meme floods the zone. Take it out of the American political context. The Tiawanese government has a meme warfare team whose (purported) purpose is to respond rapidly to meme attacks by China.

Ah Mr. Crush. Cheating, lying, making promises with the full intention of breaking them. Basic human bullshit. But rationalizing it in the service of some larger Truth. Now that is special. I still feel I chose my St. Petersburg spirit guide wisely. Because it takes a true believer to represent it in a compelling way. Anyway, I'm up in N MI and I'm going to teach my daughter to fish while you soak up the poison and show it to me. I'll take that L everyday.
