Edwin Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Carl Sagan speaks of the Primacy Of Existence without explicit identification. It is beautiful and poetic. Youtube Video: A Universe Not Made For Us I guess most the heroes of mankind knew Objectivism without knowing they knew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad he is calling for us to recognize out fragility and our need to recognize it so that we can overcome it.

Focus Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I am pretty sure Sagan did not adhere to Objectivism or anything like it. He was an agnostic, and I am pretty sure he would not have promoted Rand's ethics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamantLaw Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Sagan was definitely not an Objectivist, but he does have good things to say sometimes, and damn, the man makes me care about astronomy, that's a pretty mean feat in and of itself.
