Eww, he's talking about using sports to teach science. I'M SO BORED and it's only been two pages.

One of my high school science teachers always used sports analogies and it ruined everything she had to say because I DID NOT CARE.

I'm glad you want to teach sports enthusiasts science but not everyone is capable of giving a shit about sports.

Oh, the 90s.

I never heard about the Carlos Hoax...dude, I can't even.

He hasn't mentioned UFO's in awhile!

"And if the alien abduction accounts are mainly about brain physiology, hallucinations, distorted memories of childhood, and hoaxing, don't we have
before us a matter of supreme importance, touching on our limitations, the ease with which we can be misled and manipulated, the fashioning of our beliefs, and perhaps even the origins of our religions?"

omg, are we done talking about ufos now? this is exciting.

Man, the early 90's were awful. I forgot that people were so deep into tabloid newspapers. Also, this is still totally about UFO's.

omg dude. Carl Sagan did an insane amount of homework to disprove UFO sightings, like damn.

I was starting to worry this entire book was going to be about UFOs...but he totally turned it into, "And since we're talking about collective delusions, how about religion?" and now I'm amused. But he's talking a lot about philosophy, so gag.

Man, this book is dated. Though, I'd like to believe that people don't talk about this shit anymore because Carl Sagan gave them whatfor.

Man, what a nerd, amiright?
