La penúltima entrevista a Carl Sagan

Aunque lleva algunos años circulando por las redes sociales he decidido traer al blog este fin de semana la penúltima entrevista televisiva a Carl Sagan pocos meses antes de morir. Fue el 27 mayo de 1996 y se acababa de publicar su obra maestra de la divulgación y el escepticismo El mundo y sus demonios. Esta entrevista se ha ido citando como la última pero en realidad la última fue el 4 de diciembre del mismo año en la cadena ABC. [Aquí un extracto que he podido encontrar (a partir del minuto 1:15). Ojo, que impresiona].

Después de veinte años los problemas que le inquietaban en su día a Sagan siguen con nosotros. Seguimos creciendo en una sociedad científica y tecnológica espectacular donde la ciencia básica es ignorada -o caricaturizada convirtiéndola tan solo en un espectáculo- por gran parte de la sociedad, que se sigue entreteniendo con supersticiones y charlatanería. Seguimos embutidos en sesgos de todo tipo y carentes de herramientas para identificar y huir de la equidistancia. Seguimos con nuestra arrogancia y falta de humildad... Sagan nos dejó pero nosotros seguimos.

Buen fin de semana.
