"Carl Sagan's Final Warning:
He Wrote This Knowing He Was Dying"
"In 1995, dying of bone marrow disease, Carl Sagan made a choice. He didn't write a memoir. He wrote a manual. A manual on how to think, for people who would never meet him. The book is called "The Demon-Haunted World." It came out months before his death. And what he described in those pages is, with a precision that's genuinely unsettling, the world you're living in right now: a civilization where almost nobody understands the things that determine their lives, where certainty matters more than truth, and where the most important phrase in the English language - "I don't know" - has nearly disappeared from public conversation. In this video I'll tell you what Sagan saw before anyone else, why the second half of the book is a gift almost nobody has opened, and the one question that, if you ask it of yourself for a single day, will change you."
