This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
He is a know-it-all ass. He's a self-important dickhead. But I appreciate his role in getting young black kids seeing a role model that they can relate to. That's far more important than his ego.
Ha! It makes it sound like you're saying that young black kids are self-important dickheads and that's why he's a good role model.
But, yeah, I know what you're trying to say. Despite his social media presence, the image that kids generally see is a very positive one. He's a somewhat stylish (in his own way) guy, who clearly has personality, and is a very accomplished scientist. I just cringe any time he comments on something not related to astrophysics.
Exactly. He doesn't need to ruin movies. We know that movies are for entertainment, it doesn't need to be dissected as fact. And we certainly don't need someone taking our escapism away from us. Let us have this, dude. We need this right now, including from the time he became prominent. He killed Pluto, which I guess is fine because it was accurate, but he didn't need to shove himself into movies and try to ruin our very-much-needed escapism. It's egotistical, and insulting, as if we don't know that it's a movie.
