The president of the United States thinks that climate change is a conspiracy invented by the Chinese.
I am the only person I know who believes that the moon landing happened.

Thing is, those movies/shows were a parody of stupidity. It was not a flattering portrayal, it was a critique, not promoting it.
Sagan was sage-like, and he's ultimately right, but he got the examples wrong.

Dumb and Dumber is just good comedy. We've been laughing at idiots since ancient times. The manufacturing industry was dissolving already by the time he wrote this, it isn't some big prediction, and regardless, the internet has made the average person much more intelligent than the doom-and-gloom crowd would have you believe.

It's a (((prediction))) meant to exonerate Jews for creating exactly that future.

kek! our generation is shit, and the next generation will be shittier. It's up to us, INTPs and INTJs to build a future for ourselves. I've recently come to the realization that all other personality types are worthless and a hindrance to humanity. We must watch out for ourselves. Fuck the 14 words. It's really about the 2 personality types.

No it just made us more cynical and narrow minded since we now can choose what information we want to believe

This. (((Carl Sagan))) knew exaclty which tribe is responsible for the dumbing down of American entertainment and "news".

Sagan was a faggot and if he were alive today he'd be a Mentally Hill #Resistance anti white memer like every other pop scientist.
