Reply to comment by Guiver5000 in What is your opinion on Carl Sagan? by yciqn

i don’t see any reason for banning him of social media, aside from his dumb posts he isn’t hurting anyone. he’s definitely gotten hard to listen to recently. i think he got famous mostly because of his smooth voice and cadence, but once people realized the stuff he was saying was common knowledge the magic kinda went away

I think you overestimate "common knowledge."

true, maybe not common knowledge it just bugs me when he says something like it’s the most profound thing ever and everybody should be in awe.

then tweets that lunar eclipses are nothing special

I loved Sagans calming voice and speaking cadence. I like Neil but find him a little jarring after so much time. I love Jim Al-Khalili and think it’s the closest to Sagan.
