Ditto. My Left friends LOVE DeGrasse Tyson and constantly expound on his intellect. I stay quiet as there is no point in trying to argue with ‘idealists’ who believe whatever Leftists preach. Carl Sagan would (probably) be pretty embarrassed by Neil (although I don’t know what Sagan’s politics were, back then Leftists occasionally called out other Leftists, which NEVER happens now).
Sagan was a run-of-the-mill standard issue liberal, and a votary of young pussy - and he got a lot. He was a middling scientist, a brilliant self-promoter, and the greatest science popularizer in history.
Tyson is a very minor epigone.
I see DeGrasse Tyson as an affirmative action Sagan wannabe . He is an empty lab coat who has contributed nothing to actual science other than propagandizing a leftist view of science.
