How 20th Century Astronomer Carl Sagan Would Regard Today’s Society

Please take a second to read this dialog between Stephen Colbert and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.  Is this what would have surprised Carl Sagan most?

I doubt it.  From what I can remember, he had a low opinion of our civilization when it came to our intellectual curiosity, thirst for truth, and demand for evidence to support our beliefs.

Of course, things have gotten much worse in the nearly 30 years since he left us, but I don’t think that would have surprised him either.
