I also miss Sagan. He mentioned Sun Worship in "Cosmos" explaining that some of our ancestors thought it was a good idea and noting that they were not stupid as most of the worlds population is today, real and valuable information on any fucking thing having been cock-blocked by idiots to promote idiocy through book burnings, library burnings, and general discouragement of seeking the facts by young people when they ask really good questions.
