I don't care if you hate him; he's right on this. this entire thing is bullshit.
Who hates him?
A lot of people think he's become a bit of a wanker on social media and IRL. Some of his tweets are cringe and makes him doing like he's lightyears up his own ass.
I was one of them until I realized that in grand scheme of things, he is net positive. So I don’t care if he is cringe, I learn quite a bit from him and I wish more influential people were smart like him.
Fair enough. Maybe I just miss Carl too much
That's always understandable. I think the bigger picture here is that we sometimes forget that they're all humans, not just public figures. They have other thoughts and opinions that aren't curated for the world.
Plus, Sagan's era didn't have Internet. People weren't sharing with the world every single fucking thought that came out of their head. I'm sure we would've heard Sagan say some dumb shit here and there if he had to produce today's world's kind of content.
Great!
Now consider why the "public" started turning on him in 2021 or so.
