      If your research were more honest, or rather, more thorough, you would cite these comments of mine… http://bit.ly/1ouBEJA  viewed by a million people, instead of clunky remarks given off-the-cuff in a comedic podcast.

          Not a very reasonable defence if you're claiming his ignorance with regards to philosophy is justifiable on grounds that he is not a scientist. He and the others are not scientists in any significant sense. They're among the vulgar empiricists staring at shadows on the cave wall.

          As a scientist with a BA in philosophy, I find both sets of comments extremely disheartening. And wrong. The notion that 20th century science settled all the outstanding questions in epistemology is nonsense.

          Take it to them Dr. Tyson! When I hear people of science bemoan the decay of interest in science by mere mortals I think of the elitist attitudes of so many of them that dismisses the spirit of curiosity of the young mind. You are a breath of fresh air to the un-stodgy among us!
