"In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." (from Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" speech 1994) youtube.com/watch?v=GO5Fws…

UFO sightings have been around for 80 yrs. ~5000 yearly sightings. Nearly all can be explained, but ~21. After 80yrs, there's no physical evidence that UFOs are alien origin. If aliens actually visited earth, it would be an event so big, so profound that we would all know it.

Just signed up for BlueSky. Feels like what Twitter used to be. Follow me there: bsky.app/profile/arvina…

I'm not being paid for this promotion. I just love what this charity does! Providing laptops to needy students around the world - internet access that you and I take for granted. I've donated & hope you'll consider doing so as well. Click here: giveinternet.org/arvinash

Science denial is not Democratic or Republican...it is ignorant.

What a coincidence...that aliens started using drone-like spaceships at about the same time that cheap human-made drones became available at Walmart and every other big retail store. hmmm.

To people still believing that we never landed on the moon, these are pretty convincing images of the Apollo 11&12 landing sites from India's Chandrayaan moon orbiter. You can see the foot tracks made by the astronauts & shadow of the lander's antenna and landing legs.

98% of climatologists & 90% of all scientists agree climate change is real. But only 40-60% Americans do. One climatologist explains why: media tends to have "expert guests" - 1 who supports & 1 who doesn't. A more accurate representation would be 10 scientists at random.

Best viewer comment I heard today, very fitting for this platform: "Confident, authoritative ignorance. Thats what social media has fostered."

"There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who don't." ~ Gloria Steinem. Quite a brilliant irony in this quote.

"The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media...lowest common denominator programming...pseudoscience and superstition...a kind of celebration of ignorance” - Carl Sagan (1995). He foresaw "X" 30 yrs ago.

A 1980 quote from one of my favorite Sci Fi authors, Isaac Asimov:

The NSF is the lifeblood of basic science research at US universities. NSF-funded tech includes: Cell phones, DNA analysis, internet, MRI, 3D printing, Doppler radar & more. It's what has made America #1 in basic research. Cutting NSF funding would be short sighted.

JFK assassination files are being released. I guarantee that the science will show he was killed by a lone gunman! I also guarantee that JFK conspiracy theorists will label the files a "conspiracy."

241 souls lost on Air India, 24 at a medical school. People making plans, worried about work, anxious about studies. In a moment, lives turned to memories. If you read this, send someone love, be kinder, let go of the petty fight. Live & love now. Plans=0. Tomorrow's a notion.

Education and critical thinking is freedom. If anyone tries to take that away, they are really trying to take away your freedom.

Gavrilo Princip was perhaps the most influential person of the last 120 years. But very few people know who he even is! His actions triggered a series of events that led directly to the world order we live in today. I encourage you to look up his story.
