I think that modern day science is struggling with the whole concept of balancing a basically amoral search for knowledge with moral Qs of "is this right?"
We all know of scientists that went too far with no regard for the bigger picture, the world at large, the ramifications on people.
How many scientists in decades and centuries past ignored the very human cost of their endeavours? We've only go to look at current day womb transplants research and allowing men to bear children to see the tensions in science versus society.
And so today's generation of scientists have taken this on board, likely now swinging too far the other way. Now social justice informs all their endeavours, to the point of biasing insanity into their attitudes.
This fellow will know all about the inarguable data on male advantage in sport over women. A five year old can see it, as much as a statistician and biologist. Yet the mass hypnosis of social justice means Tyson can literally put this aside to find the least equitable outcome for women.
For someone who bemoans populist politics, he's guilty of the same, a populist for the TQ+ progessive intersectional cause, but even worse than a politician doing this, because his one and only job is to speak scientific truth, no matter how unpalatable it is to certain minorities or interest groups. Politicians are meant to lie, scientists are meant to be honest. He literally becomes a populist himself, a populist for the TQ+. Certainly not a scientist.
Fail.
