In that respect, I think, Tyson expresses the more general Faustian aspect of Western culture (as Oswald Spengler called it). The power of that science-centered culture is undeniable, and its humanistic ambition is to domesticate (enslave) the wilderness. That's all quite masculine and patriarchal. The sufficiency of that culture is another matter. Tyson and Pinker, too, would say, though, that femininity shouldn't be used as a cover for feel-good delusions. And that, in turn, opens up criticism of the hyper-masculine Western ideology of secular humanism (and of its culmination in neoliberal consumerism).
