Often times people suffer a disconnect when they hear the word Genius. Sagan's works solidified my innate skepticism of the world around me when I was young and for me, I was touched by Sagan's ability to communicate the value of science and critical thinking in a country that is falling to mysticism. That is genius. To effect people through a legacy. Astronomy is a humbling experience, and it underscores the importance we have to be good stewarts of each other and of earth.
(more to say heh) The library of Alexandria held volumes of the best minds of the time. They made a fatal mistake. It was just a repository and a place where intellectuals made toys. Meanwhile the world outside of them began to rot with slavery, mysticism, and ignorance. The discoveries made there were lost, and not found again for centuries. Science should challenge society, not wait for it to simply be accepted. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And in a sense, I even answered Eids question
Fix the GOD DAMN VIDEO WILL YOU BECAUSE IT ROCKED BUT IT KEEPS ON PAUSING AND PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO BE PATIENT ABOUT IT. I WANT FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH IT @MYSPACE PROFILE AS WELL AS OTHER PROFILES OF MINE. IT WAS INSPIRING AND INFORMATIVE BUT THE WAY IT WAS FUNCTIONING SUCKED SO PLEASE FIX IT ASAP.
