Who died and made this goofball the official spokesperson for science and astronomy? It's getting annoying seeing his face on my YouTube feed all the time. Along with that other dude, Michio Kaku.

In case y'all got the wrong idea, they're still cool guys, and fuck Elon. It's just that I'm past the teenage stoner documentaries of people being "deep" when explaining the science. That's who Dr. Tyson seems to appeal to.

For some no-nonsense, no fluff science content, I'd recommend Sabine Hossenfelder and the PBS Spacetime series.

Literally true.

Socrates -> Plato -> Aristotle -> Alexander

Sagan -> NDT -> ?

Fortunately we are alive to see the original and the successor. Unfortunately NDT has become a greatest hits jukebox and hasn't produced anything new and noteworthy in a long time. I'm looking forward to the next generation. I'm definitely cautious of what the generation after that does.
