MysticWicks endorsement: ""Oooh, I'm a Discordian! I can do whatever I want! Which means I can just SAY I'm a pagan but I never bother doing rituals or studying any kind of sacred texts or developing a relationship with deity, etc! I can go around and not be Christian, but I won't quite be anything else either because I just can't commit and I can't be ARSED to commit!"

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is awesome! He is the closest thing we have to Sagan right now.

If you've ever heard him talk about Sagan you'd know why. Sagan was Tyson's mentor.
Yes, I knew that. I heard a good interview with him on either Point of Inquiry or Skeptic's Guide to the Universe where he talked about Sagan extensively. Seems that Sagan had a habit of personally answering his own fan mail especially to youngsters who were interested in science. That's how the two met in the first place. Neil also took up the habit and handles his own fan mail.


Best way to get the next generation interested in science. How cool would it have been to go meet Carl Sagan when you were a kid?

I like it.  I am really fond of skillful use of samples.

A little more vocoded than I'd like.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable

Yeah, the voice modification grated on me at first, but when you're trying to turn talking into singing, you need to change the pitch.. I'm guessing it sounds more natural auto-tuned than otherwise.  It's more apparent in this one:
