I get why people feel this way about him but I honestly relate to him in a way.
I don’t see it as him trying to feel smarter but more being passionate about teaching people things to the point he forgets he’s already told people things. It’s like a little kid being super excited about learning something that they tell everyone they know about it ad nauseum.
I’m very much the same and it’s mainly because I’ve forgotten that I’ve already told people about whatever it is but I’m so excited to tell people every time it’s brought up
My university Society of Physics Students had a couple people go to dinner with him after he gave a talk at the school. He’s incredibly self-absorbed and loves to hear himself talk. It goes beyond being passionate about teaching people things, he is “Um akchually” incarnate.
In the case of Neil deGrasse I think he just wants to feel smarter than the rest of the world
I agree that he’s a pompous ass. But he does genuinely try to educate people and give them a better understanding of science.

He literally rags on philosophy. He’s just a Carl Sagan wanna be.
