Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan is a hero of mine. Perhaps it's his intense curiosity. Perhaps its his insistence on proof; or, maybe it's his grandfatherly voice. It's probably all of these.

I read his book, A Pale Blue Dot. It's a little dated, but it's still very pertinent. His predictions of global climate change and explanations hit the bull's eye.

Listen to him read a quote from this book. It should click in your mind that- He gets it. He was so more advanced in his thinking than most people. If we could all think like Carl Sagan, what a better world this would be.

The video adds some clever footage to Carl's words, but don't get distracted. Listen to the words.
