This makes me think of the Brian Cox wonder-tone. Everything he says has a tone of wonder so thick that I can't watch his documentaries. Presumably it works for another audience.
- internaut 10y agoI feel mildly revolted when I see him. I don't feel like I've much control over the reaction either, it's automatic. I feel a bit bad about that because I'm certain he's a reasonable human being albeit a waxy doll-human. This video gives me the same impression. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5mYK2Ht-b0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5mYK2Ht-b0 There's also something about his presentation that is like some version of the uncanny valley with intellectual ideas. TED talks have this quality sometimes. I don't have this with Sagan or Dawkins even though they will often use poetic turns of phrase. I tried explaining this to my cousin who is infatuated with Cox, but I came across as somebody with highly specific form of racism directed at just Brian Cox.
