Why do I dislike Neil DeGrasse Tyson? For the same reasons that I dislike Bill Nye the Pseudoscience Guy: Pompous poseur, politicization of science, intellectual vacuity. What’s not to dislike. I actually liked Tyson when he was just the curator of New York’s Hayden Planetarium, and a science popularizer.
Why am I skeptical: there are a lot of loose cannon on the shifting deck of any graduate school, and occasionally one goes off.
Translation:”Blah blah blah Imsosmart, blah baaaa, the woman is lying.”
I actually liked his stuff 15 years ago when it was just about science. Since he took the money to become a leftist global-warming shill, he’s worthless to me.
I also think it’s dishonest to call this guy a scientist. What has he discovered? What has he published in a peer-reviewed science journal lately? I rest my case.
I liked him as a science-promoter. As a leftist shill, not so much.
Wholeheartedly agree.
