You'Ve heard of all those scientists, haven't you?

Yes

An average person who isn't into STEM, You are much more likely to hear about Tesla rather than someone like Maxwell. Even tho Maxwell contribution was more significant.

An average person who isn't into STEM is much more likely to know of Leonardo DiCaprio than Nikola Tesla

That's not fair too. Basically they reason we know a hollywood actor more than any scientist is that the actor is making the fake numbers go up (aka money).

Nope, it's because they are popular. And that popularity is what earns them a lot of money.

People like this are popular for a reason, huge marketing team and big corporations are behind them.

No, its because of their charisma. Look at the rise of youtubers. Did youtube promote random people?

Don't get me wrong i think people like Lio are great talents. But i am talking about the significance of their contributions. If you gonna have to choose between a world without either charasmatic lio or a world without virgin awkward Newton, you gonna choose the former.

Turns out people care more about what's relatable to their everyday life

Nope, generally people don't care about that.

Well if you have a car, house or pretty much anything, you relate to Newton more.

An their personal preferences

Nope

Good luck building any of these without Newton laws.

That doesn't really relate to the actual laws.

Well, both are great, but I wouldn't undermine one because of the other.

You never replied two messages below the one you replied to

It does. If you abstract what a car is, it's just a moving object that is subject to Newton laws. Without his discovery, you won't see the world as is.

I wouldn't too. I would just consider one much more important than the other.

I am not talking about newton's laws. I am talking about people's perceptions

I understand your points i just think you are missing out on the reason why we don't know more about scientific achievements than Miley new albums.

I think those precetions are skewed. If we think our life and world relates to an actor more than a scientist, remove the later and spin the wheel of time. You gonna have much different world.

Well, good luck doing that. I don't think its really possible to make everyone feel indebted to scientists. Still, it would be good if everyone did that.

Yeah I don't think with the current system it's possible at all either. There are several things that you think are wrong while maintaining the belief that it os how is.it will never change. You can think extremists shouldn't exist while also knowing they will always do.

But what you're saying is akin to being an extremist while thinking they shouldn't exist

No no. I am saying the fact that i am know more about X than Y even tho Y is more significant, is that X got shoved in my face as a kid more than Y.

That's just life and popular choices :( I get bombarded with cricket stuff when I was a teen even though I don't like it.

I am a hardcore soccer fan too :) my father used to lut me in front of tv and make me watch until it became part of my character "my name is ghazwan and i am barcelona fan".

I don't really care about sports haha, but I agree with you. I got bombarded with enough information that even I know who Messi is. I think it's a good thing tbh haha. Can pretend to be a Barcelona fan haha.

I don't know more any about this except their names

I know the jersey design as well, but that's the extent of my knowledge

I don't know the colour of their jersey lol

Have you not seen the ads haha? They flaunt their colours way too much

Nope, haven't seen

I gotta fix you man.

The real reason is, actors perform in movies and series, and people watch those

We all prolly heard Maxwell planks name in 10 grade

Not at all

Y A S It's time for world domination via mind control
