If you have to call an astrophysicist's opinions on sociology "clueless", you either have an axe to grind or it's a particularly slow news day.


He's frequently saying clueless stuff all over social media.


Why is it news?

These websites tag these articles as "identity politics" to give them an ugly name, but then jerk off to the same concept in their own piece. Why is something on a podcast or Twitter important or meaningful? How is this not the "Kardashian"-izing of reality?
