Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Trope 3: Republicans are racist, sexist, anti-immigrant homophobes. Democrats embrace all peoples.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Knowledge of your mortality may also be a force unto itself— the urge to achieve, and the need to express love and affection now, not later.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Computers will soon be driving all our cars— faster, more efficiently, and with ever-fewer traffic fatalities, instead of the thirty-six thousand deaths we currently endure annually in the US and 1.3 million worldwide. So whether or not the universe can make something more complex than itself, we've managed to make something more capable than ourselves, and we've only just begun.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“In the US, arguments rage over how much control we grant to state and federal lawmakers over the uteruses of its citizens. Some demographics feel strongly that pregnant people should not have the right to terminate their pregnancy after the first six weeks, around the time you can first detect a heartbeat via ultrasound.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The denial of climate change poses an existential threat to the stability of civilization— a position that lands squarely amid conservative platforms, although there's been some progress over the years. Initially, the conservative battle cry was denial, which later morphed into an admission that climate change is real, but humans aren't causing it.”
