More true every day
Passage from Carl Sagan’s 1995 book, the demon haunted world. The passage states “ not explaining science seems to me perverse. When you’re in love, you want to tell the world. This book is a personal statement, reflecting, my lifelong love affair with science. but there’s another reason: Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a four boating of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time - when the United States is a service or information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those and authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good, and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media. The 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially, a kind of celebration of ignorance.

A small group of protesters hung an inverted American flag — historically used as a sign of distress in Yosemite National Park — on Saturday. The protest came just over a week after the Trump administration abruptly fired at least 1,000 National Park Service employees. nyti.ms/4ka2zwF

Card I received this morning from my cousin.

@vbenedict.bsky.social I couldn’t figure out how to attach a photo in a DM. Enjoy!
