R.I.P. Carl Sagan, you were a visionary, and an inspiration to all. Cosmos, his greatest accomplishment ,cannot be faulted, with most of the theories and science put forward over 30 years ago still holding true today, set to a beautiful score that's a mix of Blade Runner and Boards Of Canada. Are we closer to total annihilation than we were 30 years ago, or further away? It's hard to say, as religious idiots still maintain positions of power and influence in our society, totally afraid to take responsibility for their own place in the world, instead turning to mysticism. Shame on them and their inferior reptile brains, holding us back indefinitely in our progress as a species. Carl Sagan articulates this point beautifully over 13 one hour episodes. Essential.
I have it downloaded anyway. I'll definitely get to it soon.
