You all are right, including Carl. Life is Grand! And many of us are trying to make Earth a better place or at least we try to stay out of the way of those who are. But Carl's right that ignorance of technology and science can be our downfall too. And willful ignorance (i.e. the Earth is flat, the Moon landing was filmed on a set) are signs of a self destructive bent.

Take the tiny but loud bunch that ignore the science of vaccines which has lead to the return of diseases we thought were conquered. Or the soap makers who keep adding "anti-bacterial" agents to their products when science proves that soap kills bugs without the extra help, and those "agents" lead us to drug resistant strains of diseases.

The list of the ways some of us are trying to do ourselves in is huge. The list of ways the planet and the cosmos have of doing us in is even bigger. So, when we have heroes that are trying to prevent human disaster I'm paying attention and will do what I can from my little corner to help.

Agreed... Sagan was calling us to look at what being able to foresee the results of our action/inaction would do...
that WE above other inhabitants of this rock, should ACT... not react...
