I think Tyson is actually well educated in his field of science. I also think he's surrounded by so many yes men that he likes the smell of his own farts and actually thinks that everything he has to say on any topic is more valid then what anyone else has to say.
I would disagree with that he is very smart in his field. Only four of his first-author papers have more than four citations, and all were written before 1994.
I published a tiny paper two months ago that was cited seven times in the first two weeks...
Neil deDouchebag was a run of the mill astrophysicist and quickly gave up on the field when it became clear that he would never really publish anything of value.
Now he is a "science communicator" -- generally a "field" held by women and incompetent scientists.
A scientist is already a science communicator by nature, so to be only a "science communicator" means that you enjoy being the smartest person in the room and the smell of your own farts.
Getting a PhD even with an affirmative action assist is impressive. Doing unique work contributing something to the base of knowledge in physics; that's another step up the big brain ladder that a lot of really smart people don't make. They may spend their life chasing a flawed hypothesis. That is science we don't know, what we don't know.
Neil is a phartblossom surrounded by Yes Men and people trying to virtue signal. I believe he's smart enough to know he's full of shit and doesn't care as long as there's a paycheck. The worst part is he's much more interested in being famous than doing any science or even promoting science as a philosophy.
He's the worst kind of liar. A lot of people would call him a whore; but prostitutes actually provide value for money and a valuable community service. He's a turd circling the punchbowl of life.
He also commits the cardinal sin in metaphysics where he starts off a claim by saying “Since we can say,....” as his launchpad to espouse pseudo-science, when the basis isn’t proven. It’s like if I said “Since we can say that trans-women are women, we can infer that...” it’s like no, that’s not proven so anything you say going forward is bullshit. Unfortunately, brain dead NPC’s buy the pseudo-science without fact-checking the initial claim or basis of his hypothesis he conveniently glosses over

SPEZ: I changed my opinion on him being smart.
