I thoroughly enjoy getting into conversations where someone says something along the lines of "science communicators are important." I enjoy it because of how laughably ridiculous it is, I like amusement and entertainment just like everyone else. The only things these "science communicators" have done is parade their buffoonery around and turn science into a daytime TV marathon. They've created a generation or two of people who think they're informed because they passively watch TV shows with pretty renders in them, "nerds" who don't design or build anything, and an idea that you can be right all the time if you venerate the right people. They're grifters, they're novelty guests at parties, they don't actually understand anything or teach anyone anything. Actual smart people who know what they're talking about don't take these people seriously. The day I listen to these guys is the day Neil DeGrasse Tyson draws me a picture depicting exactly how you write bug free code.
