The problem, though, is that I haven’t seen any of these brash statements. At least not ones that actually matter. Tyson’s attempt at a witty tweet about sex being enjoyable didn’t take into account all species, but that’s more an indictment on Twitter and how much it sucks for dumbing everything down to 140 characters. The most offensive one to me was NDT’s tacit defense of Scientology. That wasn’t brash. It was a PC attempt to not offend anyone, not even Scientologists. I also don’t really get what Nye is so horribly wrong about because no one’s told me. His show being terrible doesn’t mean that he’s not intelligent or is wrong about everything.
