I was specifically making fun of him saying that if plant aliens visited Earth, they'd be appalled at people eating plants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQKCWxkepdI
He's a creep though, no wonder Reddit likes him so much.
My b, I didn't have your knowledge of Tyson lore. This is so stupid that's it's hard to tell where to start and it's probably a waste of time to try to deconstruct anyway. He's just so used to riffing to celebrity fools that he doesn't actually think about anything except what will make him sound wise.
Thankfully I don't have that much knowledge of Tyson lore either, but I do know this clip because it's perfect dunking material for vegans.
I had forgotten about that, basically the nerdiest version of "There's studies saying plants feel pain! So really there's no moral difference between eating plants and animals, you moron, you fucking buffoon."
