That's it right there. I would not classify Tyson as a nerd. I would classify him as a preachy and arrogant know-it-all.
Neil is pretty decent compared to assholes like Bill Nye and his NPR ilk. Neil’s “Star talk” podcast is funny and educational, and pretty much devoid of political commentary (excluding his comedian co-host/sidekick, who often digresses, but is sometimes funny). Neil is a good dude, but he does support anthropogenic global warming bullshit for some reason.
I’ve always preferred to listen to Michio Kaku. He has some serious brain power but doesn’t ooze arrogance that way Tyson does.
“That’s it right there. I would not classify Tyson as a nerd. I would classify him as a preachy and arrogant know-it-all.”
Not only that, but if you listen closely, almost everything he talks about ends with anti-human negativism or references to violence and destruction. He’s not wired right.
