Ep 202 Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Pale Blue Dot (Class 3)

Peacewarts: Universal Understars 101 - The Pale Blue Dot (Class 3) We travel six billion kilometers away to examine the Pale Blue Dot—the most distant photograph ever taken of our home. We explore Carl Sagan’s philosophy on "human conceits" and how this extreme perspective serves as a tool for dismantling nationalistic ego. We also look at the massive cultural impact of the Cosmos series, which reached 500 million people with a shared vision of our place in the universe. Homework: Interrupt your routine to look upCarl Sagan’s "Pale Blue Dot" speech and read the first three paragraphs. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write "no question." Optional:Journal about how it feels to realize that every "enemy" in history lived and died on the same single pixel of light.
