Ignorance America Decay

More From Carl Sagan

The dumbing down of american is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

People of our time are losing the power of celebration. instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. to be entertained is a passive state--it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle.... celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions. source: the wisdom of heschel

Ignorance is in relationship to content; it is not just a spirit of ignorance. in verse 21 it speaks of "the truth in jesus." truth is content, truth has something to do with reason. truth has something to do with the rational creature that god has made us. the dilemma here in the internal world is not just some sort of grey fog, it is in relationship to content.
