Sagan Saw it Coming
This is what Carl Sagan wrote in 1995:

The problem is what people believe and do when technological society leaves them behind. |
It is easy to disbelieve the facts when they tell a hard truth.

Timely thread.
Tonight I am noodling on a popular photo. The one with a child in the back seat of a car and heroin-addled parents up front. My noodling started with Slippery Slope: Self Medication. Somewhere in that picture is a story that goes from innocence to adulthood. |
Trump is heroin? We needed a just say no campaign?
|
if Trump were a opiate he would be Methadone or Suboxone one that keeps you strung out but does not create euphoria!
|
I don't know. Those who mainline Trump at the rallies seem euphoric a lot...
Trumpies are druggies! I think this metaphor might have legs! http://citizenanalyst.net/wp-content...de24837b4d.jpg |

Superstition and crystal balls have been a part of the upper echelon and a characteristic of Science is uncertainty.
|
The scientific method, by recognizing uncertainly as a never-disappearing characteristic of knowledge, succeeds like nothing else in driving it far to the right of the decimal point.
|
Sagan was probably reflecting on the Reagans.
