Comedian Bill Maher confronted well-known astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson
during a recent episode of his "Club Random" podcast, accusing him of "taking
the path of least resistance" rather than confronting woke insanity when he
saw it.
The conversation hinged on free speech on college campuses, and whether or
not a comedian could perform anything truly funny without immediately being
"canceled" by the woke mob -- a question that Maher answered with a
resounding "no."
Tyson complained that Maher was effectively dismissing "an entire generation"
out of hand, and argued that perhaps he should adjust his material and joke
about topics that students found acceptable.
"So why is it their fault and not your fault?" he asked.

"THESE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING NUTS AND YOU SHOULD BE CALLING THEM OUT."

"I have given up on any place that doesn't even remotely attempt to believe
in free speech, and thinks that anything they hear that they don't like, that
they don't agree with is violence. These people are f***ing nuts, and you
should be calling them out," Maher said, turning the argument back on Tyson.
"You're doing what parents do: You're taking the path of least resistance,
and therefore hurting the kids and yourself," Maher continued. "Parents ruin
both their lives. They ruin their f***ing spoiled kids' lives, and they ruin
their own lives because the kids rule the roost. So that's what you're doing
on a national level."
Tyson pushed back, saying that his goal was to keep his audience so that he
could continue to influence the younger generation on topics that were truly
important -- which was why he said that he tried to avoid the cultural "land
mines" that could make that impossible.
"It's not good enough to be right, you also have to be effective," he said.
"It's great that Maher calls him out. But Tyson isn't just failing to
confront wokeness; he's actively promoting it," Seth Dillon responded.

"Neil deGrasse Tyson can either get invited on to mainstream news programs
and be a pop culture sensation, or he can say obviously true things. You
cannot do both. This is the cultural malaise we're stuck in," another pointed
out on X.
