We’re definitely living through this right now. It’s not only all things Covid, but all things related to War & government in general.

This quote from Carl Sagan feels very apt right now.
[Image showing Carl Sagan, with a quote of his, description below]
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
Carl Sagan really doesn’t deserve being called on to support this reality-detached drivel.
Trying to gate keep Carl Sagan, nice, hahaha
