Carl Sagan Quotes
And Yet, The Chief Deficiency I See In The Sceptical Movement Is In Its Polarization: Us V. Them - The Sense That We Have A Monopoly On The Truth; That Those Other People Who Believe In All These Stupid Doctrines Are Morons; That If You're Sensible, You'll Listen To Us; And If Not, You're Beyond Redemption. This Is Unconstructive. It Does Not Get The Message Across. It Condemns The Sceptics To Permanent Minority Status; Whereas, A Compassionate Approach That From The Beginning Acknowledges The Human Roots Of Pseudoscience And Superstition Might Be Much More Widely Accepted.
