Saturday is the 90th anniversary of the birth of Carl Sagan. đ
He's best known as an astronomer, author, and documentary presenter. But I consider him to be a philosopher of reason. His clear-mindedness and logic are needed more than ever these days.
I'm attatching an excerpt from his book The Demon-Haunted World. It's from a chapter called "The Fine Art of Baloney Detection". Save it, share it, and use it!
