His show is entertainment first and foremost. That means glorifying stupid bullshit for the entertainment value of it.

Most hard science is boring. Most fringe theory thinking is dramatic and thrilling.

He has some alt-right ideas and opinions too, he just hides it well. I've seen the mask slip.

Hard science can be the most wonderful things you ever heard about. You merely need someone to explains it right.

I would rather someone excitedly tell me about how gravitational lensing is usedto view a black hole over listening to some fuckwit go on about how there is an Ice wall around the flat earth patrolled by Navies to prevent the truth that Nasa faked Australia coming out.

Nasa faked Australia

As an Australian, this is wild and I want to know more.

Speak for yourself. Hard science isn't boring to me.

I guess this is why he is successful. Entertaining.
