Carl Sagan's Demon-Haunted World, And Science As A Candle In The Dark

Carl Sagan's Demon-Haunted World, And Science As A Candle In The Dark | “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's
or grandchildren's time 
-- when the United States is a service and information economy... ...when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few,

and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues;
when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas
or knowledgeably question those in authority; 
when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, 

our critical faculties in decline,
unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide,almost without noticing, 
back into superstition and darkness..."
