He's an entertainer who happens to be good at science. Saw him in person at a show. He is clearly rather full of himself, but that is to ge expected in most public figures.
It's funny because most of us on sites like Lemmy and Reddit are also extremely full of ourselves except most of us don't have a PhD. Who the fuck are we to judge.
Right, I don't care about him having an ego, I just don't like how he talks over everybody else and won't let anyone else get a word in. He acts like a coke head. I doubt he is, but he sure acts like one.
I think if you listen to his podcast, you’d like him a lot more. He’s funny, relatable, and humble in his demeanor and with his guests. I understand a lot more about him after listening regularly and have grown to like and respect totally.
