Why is this being made a puzzle?
Listening to
Skeptic's Guide to the Universe #111, 2007 September 5, featuring an interview with Bill Nye.
Issue 1: The sacrifice of goats by Nepal Airlines. The speakers ridiculed pre-21st century thinking. Unwisely, I think, might have ridiculed regions and faiths where goat sacrifice might be more prevalent.
Issue 2: A portrayal of King Tut that is controversial because of the race depicted. Speakers wandered around, but emphasis was on favoring science, and Tut's being what Tut was.
Issue 2.1: Related. Does race as biological concept does exist; is it only a social concept? Speakers: don't alter the science for social goals. Had a real hard time defining what they were talking about. Never really succeeded.
About 24 minutes in, discussion moved to questions and emails. Didn't listen.
Around 29 minutes in, was the Bill Nye interview. (That was eliminated as the thorniness, right?)
I didn't listen hard, but I failed to get highly offended. They didn't engage me. Were I on a mic, I might have been tempted to say, "Don't be a jerk," a couple times.
And, I remain as frustrated by parallaxicality's opaque opening comment as before listening.
Edit: After the Nye interview, there was a long regular bit about which one of three science news items is the fake, with a protracted digression on mouse genes. Nothing much controversial there.
