The Doctor Carl Sagan Warned Us About
Dr. Christiane Northrup, a medical doctor, uses her intuition to tell her fans that medicine is wrong and magic is real. Predictions made by psychics and astrologers tend to quickly fade from memory because of how wrong they often turn out to be, but one prediction made by Carl Sagan, an astrophysicist and famous science communicator, is so unfortunately on the money that it continues to outlive him. He spelled it out in the second chapter of his last book, The Demon-Haunted World : âI have a foreboding of an America in my childrenâs or grandchildrenâs timeâwhen the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and whatâs true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.âNew York Times bestselling author of books like Womenâs Bodies, Womenâs Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause . She was platformed by Oprah Winfrey on many occasions and was named by Readerâs Digest in 2013 as one of the 100 most trusted people in America. Her online fanbase is considerable: 149,000 followers on Instagram and over half a million fans on her Facebook page. For a medical doctorâs star to shine so brightly during a pandemic should be a boon, but Dr. Northrup is no ordinary doctor. Every night, she addresses tens of thousands of followers in ten-minute videos that deny the reality of the pandemic, promote every magical belief under the sun, and weave a grand Dungeons-and-Dragons -style narrative about the Age of Aquarius and Northrupâs Warriors of the Radical Light.The Demon-Haunted World , âsooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.â (...)

Thanks to Lenore who made a comment in my Deion Sanders article that linked to an opinion piece about trust .
The article talked, among other things, about the Bernie Madoff effect: âAnd even when it starts to become clear we have been fooled, whether on a small, large, or life-threatening scale, the vast majority reject it.â
This quote stood out for me:
âOne of the saddest lessons of history is this: if weâve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. Weâre no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. Itâs simply too painful to acknowledge, Even to ourselves, that weâve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.â
