I had a bit of a scare. I thought that the fraud Neil deGrasse Tyson has said something that was rational, sane and scientific, Tyson tweeted sanity [1]:
In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via HandgunOften our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
Tyson’s tweet set off a media firestorm. But not to worry. After a brief bout of sanity, Tyson has since apologized for speaking as scientist.
