this quote is the cornerstone of my worldview. Sagan has had the most impact on my understanding of our world and I have immense respect for him. He was a true global icon and should be studied by everyone irrespective of their affiliations to any ideology.
Cosmos - A personal voyage is the sagan one which released in the 80s. spacetime odyssey is the neil degrasse tyson one which came out recently. both are amazing.
I'm curious how would you provide evidence for the claim "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", or is it not a claim? Ignore if you find this stupid.
Hi Trupal! This is an interesting question and it can be addressed with multiple layers... To begin with, in philosophy and logical arguments when this type of meta-questioning is done, it is considered as a cognitive dead-end and creates a fallacy. Since Sagan never claimed that this is an extraordinary statement, there's no pressure to give extraordinary evidence to him. If the one who believes into Sagan's statements and they label it as an extraordinary claim,, then it's their duty to find extraordinary evidence for the same... so it's not really about who is making the claim, but this is more about who is perceiving the claim, they need to work accordingly to fulfill the gap of their cognitive dissonance. However, in the context of philosophical discussions, these types of questions are classified under informal fallacies, i.e., "fallacy of circular reasoning" & fallacy of "begging the question". You can read more about these concepts from the internet... And/or continue the discussion in the comments... Thank you :)
@@pathikgheewala Thank you for replying. Since I'm new to the concepts of philosophy and logical reasoning I'm having a hard time understanding them now. I'll have to mull it over before I can reply to you. Thanks again for your time.
