  • That woman is as much a joy to listen to as her husband was.

  • I never tire of listening to Ann Druyan, or Carl Sagan.

  • Ann Druyan is kind of an anagram of Ayn Rand... unfortunately.

  • carl sagan is my hero. Ann your a lucky lady !! I still miss him. We are all indeed star stuff :)

  • Thank you so much for posting and sharing this video. Beautiful!

  • @cristianearanha06 It's an automatic translation from automatically transcribed captions. That's why it's so bad.(É uma tradução automática de legendas automaticamente transcritas. É por isso que é tão ruim)

  • "Religion and science do not have to be at odds, says Sagan's widow." is an interesting quote.

    Yet, Ann Druyan shared quite a bit more within this one:

    "I think we still have an acute case of post-Copernican-stress syndrome. We have not resolved the trauma of losing our infantile sense of centrality in the universe. And so as a society we lie to our children. We tell them a palliative story, almost to ensure that they will be infantile for all of their lives."

    Thank you for sharing this vid.

  • all i got is one phrased for ya suckers! "science without religion is lame. religion without science is blind." einstein.

  • @OM3N1R Tell me about it.

  • @misinglink15 Wait, link please? :)

  • I'm an anti theist, but most religions have some good ideas ( not commandments). Most eastern religions require meditations...which I think is very good for people. The trouble comes when a religion says it "owns" this idea, that I have real issues. Of course, living in a "Theocracy" would be the worst thing to me!

  • His Holiness says that religion is simply an "Inner Science" that may sound cliche.... I think Sagan was almost taken aback.
