Carl Sagan gave a warning in 1996 that feels even more urgent today. We live in a world driven by science and technology — shaping everything from our health to our environment to our democracy. But when most of us tune out because it feels too complex or intimidating, we hand over the future to a small group of decision-makers. Democracy only works when the public stays informed and willing to question what we’re told. Thomas Jefferson understood that education and everyday skepticism are essential to keeping power in check. We can’t have a government by the people if the people stop paying attention to how the world works. Stay curious. Keep questioning. #Politics #Government #Democracy #Throwback #Science #Tech
