Tyson recently advertised an online show in which he stated he will ( paraphrase) teach people to think. Thanks, Neil, how would I manage without you.

Oh man!! By dispelling things no one actually thinks?

I have tried to avoid any bashing of specific persons in my article. Of course, I, too, had the usual suspects in mind and named some of them - hopefully without any judgments. One has always to keep in mind whom they address, by which media channel, and at what time of the day. All these factors are normally disregarded when it comes to discussions like the one that evolved here right now. It is easy to criticize those who actually do something instead of taking action instead. I had to learn this myself recently. I drew the personal consequence of reducing my activities at PF drastically. If they are considered "meaningless" then it's time to stop them. Fortunately, none of the mentioned scientists are members here AFAIK.
