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
Sagan was a calm mannered and humble person. The antithesis of deGrasse. I personally find him loud and pushy in the way he talks. Maybe I’m just getting old but I miss a lot of the older scientists who were so soft spoken and calm in the way they taught or expressed themselves. It was like the knowledge they imparted was an invitation to learn. A lot of the science influencers these days want to loudly ram it down your throat hook, line and sinker.
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.

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