  2. I love the way the neo-atheists flaunt their nihilism with a proud bravado. They can do so for the most part because they have never known true suffering.

    While they assure their readers that all is hopeless and the Universe doesn’t care, suicide rates and drug addictions skyrocket. And these superheros beat their chests with pride for having spoken “truth” to the powerless.

  3. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a narcissistic pile of crap who makes obviously partisan proclamations on The Science. Nuff said and thank you Norm, RIP.

  4. Norm is in my personal top 3…alphabetically listed as follows:

    Bill Burr 1968-
    Mitch Hedberg 1968-2005
    Norm Macdonald 1959-2021

    Burr and Macdonald are/were fearless…Hedberg did not do political stuff as far as I know.

    1. Oh man, Mitch kills me.
      “I used to do drugs; I still do but I used to too”.
      Norm really liked him.

      Strangely I don’t even smile at Burr’s stuff.

      Now (dry bar comedian) Brian Regan invariably makes me LOL.
      “I walked on the moon”.
      Seinfeld’s fave I’ve heard.

    2. Add GEORGE CARLIN to that lot pls…

      One who saw though Govt Bullshit when most of the others were still suckling a soother.

      Burr I like
      Norm I loved..

  5. So, if deGraft had said “99.99999999999999999999% of the universe is blind to our sorrows and indifferent to our pains”, then he wouldn’t have had a problem with it?
    This constant virtue signaling grows tiresome. People competing on twitter about how much they “care.” We now see this behavior from every side of the political spectrum, as if one’s credibility is measured by how much one “cares” about something.
    Roll on Armageddon.

  6. Tyson is an affirmative action scientist. AKA a pretend scientist. About as bright as Bill Nye the Science Guy .. another pretend scientist.

    A pretend scientist used by white liberals to impress the black community that one of theirs can read a script about science stuff.

    1. He’s not even a scientist. He makes his money not by applying the scientific method to ask and answer questions about the world, but via celebrity and the use of logical fallacies dressed as “science” to promote a leftist agenda, and the MSM trots him out as an “expert/scientist” from time to time. Michiu Kaku is another of the same stripe.

      As opposed to, say, Leonard Susskind or the late Stephen Hawking, who hold/held political views I find abhorrent, but still does/did science.

      1. Carl Sagan, who was arrogant and made Cosmos about himself, was also an accomplished scientist in his own right.

        NDGT is to science what Bonnie Henry and Deena Hinshaw are to medicine.

        1. Agreed. As I see it, as soon as a “scientist” starts making proclamations about social issues, he should be subjected to extreme scrutiny to see if he is or is not actually a scientist.
          As I see it, the idea of applying the scientific method to social issues is utterly unethical…experimenting on populations, making proclamations about which outcomes are “desirable”, etc.
          Sadly, states do this all the time, either to show us plebes that they’re in charge by wonton violation of our natural rights, or to make money, or both.

  8. I saw him on a celebrity roast where he read from an old time joke book, instead of trashing the star as crudely as he could. (Did you hear about the man who got arrested for eating a TV dinner while listening to the radio?)

    It was interesting, if not a little puzzling. Could he have been making fun of people like me who were dumb enough to watch a celebrity roast? Nah, couldn’t have been that.

    He was a thinker.
