    Carl Sagan didn’t need someone to pretend to be a fool to explain things.

    That he did not. But I imagine it would take more of a predisposition to the subject to view Carl’s stuff, than Neil. Neil is taking the science to everyone. And in order to do that, you have to have a bit of arrogance (look at why Trump is so popular) and a bit of pizzazz. It’s gotta cater to a lot more people.

      Sagan took the science to everyone just fine.

          Your statement:

          Neil is taking the science to everyone. And in order to do that, you have to have a bit of arrogance (look at why Trump is so popular) and a bit of pizzazz.

          Doesn’t contribute to the conversation becsuse we were just talking about Sagan who did not need to be arrogant to bring science to everyone. Nor did you need to bring Trump into this thread when he has no relevance in any way to the conversation.

            Well holy shit, excuse me for being tangential. I shall excuse myself from this narrow conversation to which you may bring no simile. I don’t wish to communicate with you again due to fear of breaching the subject. Thank you.

            🙄

              Don’t ask questions if you don’t want to hear the answer.

                I wanted to hear the answer, don’t worry.

                What I’m saying, in case you don’t speak sarcasm, is that the statement I made touches on the subject tangentially, and is not completely off-topic. You are being extremely petty and it’s incredibly unbecoming.

                Please don’t talk to me anymore, thank you for respecting my wishes.
