      Now I see. You based your tweet on what the writer said in the Quartz article, not on what I actually said. Please re-read.

          He does a ton for amplifying people in ways you don't consider, like supporting Black students behind the scenes

          Is it that you take offense to him saying he has "singular role"? I'm all for modesty, but it's safe to say @neiltyson has singular talent.

          How is tweeting introductions of scientists being mean or ragging on him? I'm not seeing why this is such an offense.

          It's a condescending presumption, imo, especially taken in cultural context

          And particularly when he responded to our initial thread aimed at Bill. Plus the framing around the article. Just seems rude at this stage.

          He focus's mainly on sci-fi ideas in terms of their current potential or efficacy. He totally leaves ideology at the door.
