Comment CEO pay IS based on performance (Score 4, Funny) 712

If a company succeeds, CEO pay increases because their super human abilities are solely responsible for corporate performance. If a company fails, CEO pay increases because their super human abilities limited the damage from incompetent workers and are needed to liquidate the company in an orderly fashion.

I'll grant you some of that. My first reaction to seeing Cox on video was "what a punk", and half expected him to ride a skateboard into the next segment. I gave him more slack after reading The Quantum Universe and Why Does E=mc^2. Sagan also strayed into the grandiose, but I always enjoyed the theater. Maybe Tyson just interviews poorly. I'll definitely watch the new Cosmos.

Yea, plus if you've seen him on stage with his peers he can come off rather negatively. There was that one panels he did a couple years back alongside Cox and Nye in which he kept interrupting Nye and arguing semantics throughout.

Brian Cox comes closer to Sagan's aesthetic. Neil seems a lot more clownish. I've seen multiple interviews where he tries so hard to force joke after joke, complete with irritating laughter, that he completely missed the point of some questions and distracted from the science. Sagan and Cox inspire scientific wonder, Neil is closer to open mike night at the Laugh Shack.
