Sagan Memes

Imagine meeting Carl Sagan—legendary astronomer, science communicator, and destroyer of pseudoscience—and confidently announcing you're into astrology. That's like telling Gordon Ramsay you microwave your steaks. This poor soul just walked into the home of a man who spent his entire career championing scientific skepticism and critical thinking, only to reveal he believes Mercury retrograde affects his love life. Carl Sagan famously wrote "The Demon-Haunted World" specifically to combat this kind of thing—astrology being one of his prime examples of pseudoscience that confuses astronomy (the actual study of celestial objects) with fortune-telling based on arbitrary star patterns. The boyfriend basically just told a firefighter he's really into arson. No wonder he's getting the express eviction! Fun fact: Sagan once said astrology claims that "the constellations in the sky which happened to be behind the sun when you were born somehow imprint your character." He was... not a fan. This relationship was dead before it started.
