Tyson will study something with half his attention and then build a story around it. Which is usually entertaining but not always accurate.
Most his misinformation is harmless. For example, being confused on the cardinality of infinite sets doesn't do the average Joe Rogan listener any harm.
But sometimes he uses his garbled memory, incomplete understanding and vivid imagination to slam an individual or group. Then it's serious.
I've compiled a list of Tyson screw ups. His thing is over simplified pop science and history, often wrong.
