Decoding The Gurus

Carl Sagan Gurometer *UNEDITED*
🕑 Added 2021-08-01 07:47:40 +0000 UTCWe crank up the Gurometer to stare directly into our cosmic insignificance and ponder where Sagan resides in the guru cosmology.
Featuring some Weinstein World chat at the end.
Also note this is the UNEDITED video version. We will get an edited version up on the bonus feed this week!
Enjoy

In regards to Eric's Olympics tweet and the loaded language, you're circling around an actual Eric-ism: the Russell Conjugation. He wrote an essay on it, https://www.edge.org/response-detail/27181. Not surprisingly, he knows precisely what he's doing and how to use it well: "Thus, as listeners and readers our minds generally mirror the emotional state of the source, while in our roles as authoritative narrators presenting the facts, we maintain an arsenal of language to subliminally instruct our listeners and readers on how we expect them to color their perceptions."
