Gosh I wonder.
Not as cool as carl Sagan
not a scientist
Infotainment at its most popsci.
Doesn't cause harm so not bad.
I don't like the way he explains science as if it's magical and mystic.
But we're not his audience. For he's for the layman that stopped at middle school science class.
i guess its all relative. hes dumber than his press agent, but so were some other famous 'scientists'. at least he tries and didnt jus go for the ' imma basketball hero' dumbfuckery
he is a dumb motherfucker though. hes got some classic one liners that are talking possum tier. the one about more molecules than in the whole universe is classic tyson chicken
He will go down as a important figure in the history of mankind than pewdiepie will
Who?
more important*
This
Sagan is better
Anyone got any of his cringy tweets?
Just go to his Twitter?
They're all of that ilk.
>turns out that the Key & Peele sketch was truth in fiction
Dude's a player. Respect.
My teacher said to my I'm a failure, that I'll never amount to anything. I scoffed at him. Shocked, my teacher asked what's so funny, my future is on the line. "Well...you see professor" I say as the teacher prepares to laugh at my answer, rebuttal at hand. "I watch Rick and Morty." The class is shocked, they merely watch pleb shows like the big bang theory to feign intelligence, not grasping the humor. "...how? I can't even understand it's sheer nuance and subtlety." "Well you see...WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB!" One line student laughs in the back, I turn to see a who this fellow genius is. It's none other than Albert Einstein.
I like that there is an outreach program to the public to achieve higher participation in STEM.
I don't know of any better choices for esteemed "science communicators" besides those who are dead, so I'll say he was a good choice. He's an established astrophysicist that is the director of the respected Hayden planetarium.
Black science man is alright imho
100% true
He is
75% true
90% true
10% true
100% sad
100% true
The guy is a good speaker and science communicator even if it feeds into the emergence of pop-sci culture or "Science!" as I like to call it. However, I think by himself he's not a bad guy and at worst he can come off as intentionally being mystic and pretentious (like with the goldmine that is his twitter). I do hate the dickriders of Neil though, they are awful and worship Neil based off of the fact that he is a black scientist.
Kind of a cunt, but still more insightful and intelligent than almost everyone on Veeky Forums.
His absurd pedantry about semantic things like leap years annoys me, and I think he generally panders to a feeling of intellectual superiority.

Despite that, he's ok
Could be worse, he could have sold out entirely like Shill Nye
>tfw Bill Nye went from fun science guy to massive prick
This x100. At least black science man actually did research at some point.
he is a stupid person who barely scraped through a PHD and now parades around like a king and irritates everyone else
he is stupid
but he has a PHD and is black so we should all respect him because most black people cant get PHDs and were racist or something
I love skienke.
Seriously. I think Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the shit.
