Este excerto do livro 'Um Mundo Infestado de Demónios' de #CarlSagan é um sério aviso à concentração das tecnologias "nas mãos de uns quantos e ninguém que represente o interesse público as conseguir sequer entender". Podemos esperar tempos em que seremos "incapazes de distinguir entre o que nos agrada e o que é verdadeiro, regressarmos, quase sem dar por isso, à superstição e à ignorância."
Apresentaram-me o livro 'Um Mundo Infestado de Demónios' de
#CarlSagan, como uma referência para estes tempos de teorias da conspiração e pseudociências. Alguém leu?
Today, I've been listening to some funky book about living according to your values and Buddhist theory via the Dalai Lama. I'm sick with some stupid manflu but I'm trusting, despite Brexit Island....

#CarlSagan said the same thing in 1995 that Neil Postman emphasized in his 1985 book.
"And when 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”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995
Put #cosmos on for bed time story time - hopefully it won’t be too depressing
#CarlSagan
We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science or technology. This combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.
-- Carl Sagan

In honor of my hero Carl Sagan's birthday yesterday...a Sunday chillwave tune with his voice. "Synetheisia" from the "Inner Movies" Project.

Respecting online pdf versions of Carl Sagan's "The Demon Haunted World":
Deleted link to Internet Archive pdf because I suspect it is infected.

Really loving how many people remember #carlsagan . He was an amazing person and a great example of how one's worldview can be both unfailingly scientific and beautifully empathetic.
Did you know that Carl Sagan ”The demon hounted world” is available for free as an audio book in the internet archive?

I watched Carl Sagan work on TV as a child, but never read one of his books. I am looking forward to this one!
Carl Sagan on the pain of animals
It’s barbaric to eat animals
On what would have been #CarlSagan’s 90th birthday, I remember teaching our scientific method course using his book “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark”.
I remember the helpful bullshit detector he gave the world.
I remember his warnings about a society that embraces credulity and denies critical and scientific thinking.
I remember his grand view of the #Cosmos and our place in it.
Let’s celebrate with music quoting from his last interview.
Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. His immeasurable impact grows over time. I read "Cosmos" as a child and discovered Saturn's moon Titan. Titan's mystery that led me to follow the Cassini mission and the entire reason the film was made. We were lucky to get permission from his widow and co-author Ann Druyan dedicate the film to him. His famous Pale Blue Dot quote resonates more and more as time moves on.

#CarlSagan had a gift for translating complex scientific ideas into stories that sparked wonder and inspired generations, including many of the scientists shaping today’s discoveries. On what would have been his 90th birthday, we celebrate Carl Sagan as a visionary who brought the stars closer, reminding us to stay curious and to keep looking up. Happy Birthday, Carl Sagan—thank you for showing us the universe. #HappyBirthdayCarl #CarlSagan90 #space #science #scicomm
