I applaud your restraint.. There is a very frightening disconnect between society and science. Maintaining the health of the very thing which keeps us alive should be a bit higher up on the priority scale than it seems to be.

People like Tyson have the ability to connect with people that are not as scientific in their overall focus. This is good, I think.

Love the quote. But to me, Tyson put a more intimate spin on it.

Everything is connected. Us with each other, and everything else that exists as well. Rather profound, and true.

To each there own. I feel just the opposite though. Tyson had a way of explaining things scientifically while Sagen seemed to put things into more layman's terms. I liked the new Cosmos series but thought it lacked that connection of the Orginal.

He's a great speaker and it's unfortunate that people can say things in the media which have not been properly tested..

I think a lot of that came from him being associated with atheism. Not sure if that is how he really feels, but he does seem pretty scientific in his overall approach to the subject. Not that I disagree with him in that regard; I am absolutely an agnostic. I think he has been unfairly painted as an athiest. I am pretty sure him and I see things the same way.

As for those sexual harassment claims, I am going to wait to see if they become actual court cases. As of right now, it's just a story. And given how effective making claims of this sort, irrespective of legitimacy, are so effective in turning the accused into a social pariah, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Can't see that one in my country!

I'm a bit of a Brian Cox fan, almost went to see him speak but tickets were a bit exxy and I was not so flush at the time!
