Sagan felt that the dumbing down of America was most evident in the rejection of science and the growing ignorance of history, art, literature, music and the humanities. If we're to reserve course, we need to revive mass education and literacy.

Don't tell anyone my secret!

For the past year I've been doing focused reading on medieval literature, English history, the folklore of Scotland and Wales, and I can't express how just learning things changes a person. It will make you more interesting. You will fall in love with this world.

oh I'm aware! ☺️

I have panic attacks whenever I visit airports and everyone, even the smallest child, is hypnotized by a screen. So you never know - you might end up next to me on a plane, and the sight of your book will save me from spiraling! ☺️

As recently as the 1930s, a poem warned children: “Never leave your eggshells unbroken in the cup,

For witches come and find them and sail away to sea,
And make a lot of misery for mariners like me.”

love Churchill!
