Poncio Pulido asked Neil deGrasse Tyson:

Do you still have any of your matches as a wrestler. What type of wrestling did you compete in? Who were your trainers?

Neil deGrasse Tyson Wrestled scholastic (High School) and intercollegiate (College). Was Captain and undefeated ini high school. In college, that's when I encountered "corn-fed" wrestlers from Iowa and elsewhere, which assured that I would have a losing record. But I loved the sport whether or not I was winning. And stayed with it for all four years. Also wrestled a bit in Graduate School.

Haven't been back on a mat since the 1990s. But I enjoy watching it.

John Lee was my coach:

Do you think healthy sceptisisme has taken a turn to where people belive in less and less they hear, true or not? Fake news coming from high authority people like presidents and other worldleaders. Couls this explain conspiracy-theorists and all those. Or what do you think is the cause of false beliefs?
