He was a big stoner.
Erf Day is a celebration of Lenin’s bERFday.
I’ve learned to treat those who are most vocal about “objectivity” with suspicion. <<<
Lol...objecttivity!...ask them to name the 3 sexes...Give them the 1st two free...
A. Male
B.Female
C.(its a pass or fail question)
Carl Sagan started his career when nearly scientists “agreed” the earth was cooling and a new ice age was on us...
And it seems scientists that take government grant money all agree that the only solution to any problem is bigger and bigger government, more and more regulations and higher and higher taxes...
I just saw thousands of conformists marching. In a field like science that isn’t reassuring.
If it was a real march for science, they’d go in a circle. They’d observe, form an hypothesis, experiment, collect data, and match the data with the hypothesis. Instead they form a conclusion, skip the experimentation, ignore the data, and call anyone who disagrees anti-science.
David Suzuki and Bill Nye have done wonders for science too /sarc
Who could forget the wonderful Jodie Foster movie that was dedicated to Carl Sagan? (Contact)
And based on ..... well ..... absolutely no proof at all.
But they did record 18 hours of static ..... so .....
The Real War on Science - by the Left

In a society that has horoscope readings hot lines advertised on TV, it is no wonder that these climate change charlatans would use non-science to line their pockets. The vast landscape of America is easily be taken in by this narrative formula that goes on like a skipping record.
And then we have .... Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
What a joke.
Here's the first paragraph of one of the reviews at Amazon:
This book is a blow-by-blow account of how Carl Sagan systematically misrepresented Velikovsky, and used the full weight of his reputation and position within the establishment to complete the work of suppression begun over two decades earlier by Harlow Shapley and Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. The sheer hypocrisy, dishonesty and self-regard of Sagan is brutally exposed for all the world to see. Unfortunately, for Sagan fans and true believers, the book will be so unpalatable that they might not get beyond the first few pages. Indeed, I would venture to suggest that almost none of the critics of this book, who have here given it a one-star rating on Amazon, have actually read it. The very act of reading it would dispel all notions one might have had of Sagan's nobility and intellectual honesty. He was a fraud and, in some respects at least, a bully. He was also a very poor scientist, as Ginenthal demonstrates in literally dozens of ways.
to which the march should embrace causes like “diversity.”

I saw some of the crowd on the broadcast of DC ERF day.
One of the speakers mentioned diversity, in the context of broad variety of plants and animals, and some glazed-eye, open-mouth chick in the audience nodded her head at the word diversity.
