When Bill Nye Enlisted Science in the Service of Perversion

Perversion is a strong word, but there is no other way to describe it. The musical presentation promoted by Bill Nye on his “Bill Nye Saves the World” show was perverse in every way. It was vulgar. It was vile. It was degraded. It was disgusting. That it was promoted in the name of science makes it all the more despicable.

According to NaturalNews.com, which is billed as, “The world’s top news source on natural health,” Nye went “FULL LUNATIC” with his “vulgar transgender video.” The man known as “the science guy” has taken science to a freakish new low. Full lunatic indeed.

The video in question, “My Sex Junk,” by Rachel Bloom, was featured on Nye’s “Bill Nye Saves the World” show. (If this is saving the world, I can only imagine what destroying the world looks like.)

Within a few days, it had reached more than half-a-million views on YouTube, with the Thumbs Down responses outnumbering the Thumbs Up responses roughly 37,000 to 570. Have you ever seen a rating that negative? More than 60 to 1 panning the video.

Nye introduces the performance saying, “So, you guys, seriously, the next thing, I feel is very special. This is a cool little segment. You know this woman from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Please give it up for Rachel Bloom.”

What follows is . . . well, watch for yourself. Or maybe not. I could only stomach a few seconds of the video before shutting it off, choosing to read a description of it instead. It was that bad.

It ridicules the idea that one must choose between male and female, and it does so in the crudest of terms. And it gets worse from there. Much worse. Too perverse to repeat.

And remember: This video was being promoted by “the science guy, Bill Nye” on his “Bill Nye Saves the World” show.

We’re not talking about a family sharing with tears the struggles of their little boy who identifies as a girl.

We’re not talking about a trans-identified adult talking about how much happier they are now that they’ve accepted their “real” identity.

We’re talking about a vulgar celebration of perversion, and the chorus repeats, “’Cause my sex junk is so, oh, oh, oh. Much more than either-or, or, or.”

As for the “science” element of the video, Bloom proclaims, “It’s evolution, ain’t nothing new. There’s nothing taboo about a sex stew.”

Yes, “If they’re alive I’ll date them” (thank God necrophilia wasn’t celebrated; at least the people are alive). “Channing or Jenna Tatum” (speaking of a husband wife). “I’m down for anything.”

And this is followed by more unintelligible mumbo-jumbo. Oh, the beauty and wisdom of science!

But there’s more. As Bloom raps out, “Sex how you want. It’s your g—d—m right,” the camera cuts over to Nye, who is absolutely getting into the music. I mean, he is down with it, baby!

Then Bloom closes things out, saying, “Get off your soap box. My sex junk’s better than bagels with lox. . . .” (Did I mention that the video features several other dancers, cavorting lewdly?)

And what happens next? Bill Nye, the science guy, the host of Bill Nye Saves the World, strides to the middle of the stage and says, “That’s exactly the right message, Rachel. Nice job.”

Read those words slowly and carefully: “That’s exactly the right message, Rachel.”

Yes, Nye indeed has gone “full lunatic.” As Natural News commented, “If Charles Darwin were still alive today, he would no doubt squash Bill Nye with a giant Galapagos tortoise.”

The Daily Caller notes that, Nye’s show “purports to look at various problems through a more scientific perspective, according to the International Movie Database.”

One can only wonder what a non-scientific perspective would look like.

The Caller cites one YouTube viewer who wrote (quite representatively of many others), “F--- this world, I want to just move to the forest and become a monk. I can’t take this degeneracy anymore.” This is how Bill Nye saves the world?

Yet for Nye, this is hard science, now put into the service of the most extreme factions of LGBT activism. Anyone who disputes these allegedly established findings of science is thereby an anti-scientific bigot. What a horrific misuse and abuse of science.

We know, of course, that science itself is amoral, but it can be used for moral or immoral purposes. It can also be employed as a bludgeoning tool, used to bully ideological opponents, as if to say, “How dare you differ with the claims of science!”

That’s exactly what Nye has done, thereby enlisting science in the service of perversion.

Back in January, the @ScienceMarchDC account tweeted that “colonization, racism, immigration, native rights, sexism, ableism, queer-, trans-, intersex-phobia, & econ justice are scientific issues.”

Although the tweet was quickly removed, such themes were not absent from the march. In the words of one speaker, “We all have a story. Mine is that I’m a public health geek and a policy wonk. I’m also a queer transgender man.”

He continued, “Science is objective, but science is not neutral. The poet Dante wrote that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in moral crisis. We cannot pretend we are above the fray.”

No wonder that the Washington Times reported that, “The March for Science has landed under the microscope amid mounting criticism over its left-of-center political agenda, prompting fears that the event could do more harm to the image of scientific research than good.”

Nye has now taken things one step farther, going beyond left-of-center into the looney left, the extreme-left that does not even represent many LGBT advocates, thereby disgracing the scientific community.

If he has been taken seriously up to now, he should be no longer. His radical ideology is perverting his judgment.

As you said, it’s an Internet quote that completely misinterpreted Dante. The 9th Circle of Hell is ice, not fire. There is fire in some of the other circles, but not for those mentioned in the quote. Those who were neutral on good and evil, siding neither with God nor with Obama, face something far less than the hottest places in Hell.

Theodore Roosevelt wrote (1915) that Dante had “reserved a special place of infamy” for neutral angels. W. M. Vines wrote (1917) that Dante placed neutral individuals in the lowest place in hell. John F. Kennedy said something similar (1950s), attributing the statement to Dante.

I enjoy Dante, and this is FR, an intellectual site, so here it is:

Inferno, Canto III

THROUGH ME COME INTO THE CITY FULL OF PAIN
THROUGH ME COME INTO ENDLESS SUFFERING
THROUGH ME COME BE AMONG THE LOST
I WAS FASHIONED BY MY HIGH MAKER IMPELLED
BY JUSTICE; I WAS FASHIONED BY DIVINE POWER,
BY UTTER WISDOM, BY ORIGINAL LOVE.
BEFORE ME ONLY ETERNALS WERE CREATED
–ANGELS HEAVEN PRIMAL MATTER–
I GO ON FOREVER.
YOU WHO COME IN ABANDON ALL HOPE.

Darkling these words I saw inscribed
atop a doorframe, so I said:

“Master, the meanings are hard to me.”

And like a man familiar with the site, he said:

“Here all self-doubt must be cast off, and all cowardice
snuffed out; we’ve come to the place I told you about
where you’ll see the sad beings bereft of the good
of the intellect–the knowledge of God.”

Then, face aglow, he put his hand on mine
–and I was comforted–and after that he led me in
to things concealed from the quick but not from the dead.
Here through the starless air sighs, cries and loud wails
reverberated; so first I wept. A motley clutch
of tongues, monstrous dialects, agony-words, spikes
of wrath, faint and shrill voices and along with these
the thwack of hands–all created a tumult swirling
in a dun air outside of time, as sand eddies in a whirlwind.
And I, horror girding my head, said:

“Master, what’s this I hear, and who are these beings
so in thrall to their grief?”

And he to me:

“This despondency weighs down the miserable souls
who in life earned neither praise nor blame, who here
keep company with that craven choir of angels
not rebels, not faithful to God, out for themselves only.
Justly the heavens chased away such angels
whom Hell’s deeps rejected too, to make sure
the infernal shades don’t lord it over these cowards.”

And I:

“Master, what acute pain afflicts all the spirits here,
who are breaking into lamentation?”

He answered:

“I’ll tell you briefly. These, brought so low
through the blindness of their lives, have no hope
of death, and envy anyone else’s fate.
The world casts them out of its concerns.
Pity scorns them; justice loathes them.
Let’s stop talking about them. Look and pass by.”

I looked–and saw a banner whirling so fast
that I thought it could suffer no
pause; and behind it such a press of beings
that I would not have thought death
could undo so many.
As I was recognizing some,
I saw and knew the shade of him whose pettiness
of soul had spawned the Great Refusal. Immediately
certain, I understood that these were the malicious cabal
odious to God and to all His enemies. Green
flies and wasps stung these naked contemptible beings
–who’d never been alive–
and by their feet disgusting worms were harvesting
the mix of tears and blood that had streaked
their faces.
