    We do not value anything that we can’t stick a dollar sign on. He’s right on that. It relates to the RUclips issue that he talks about.

      @@Talking_Story those classifications comefrom the International Astronomical Union.
      Pluto was reclassified because astronomers needed more accurate/useful ways to classify objects in space. The dwarf planet category was created for objects that fit a certain set of qualifiers and Pluto fell in that category.
      Other branches of science do this kind of thing all the time when new data is acquired.
