bad message, man is only capable of its demise, society is corrupt and we are all slaves, the day man will realise this is when aliens will come and rape us, hopefully that should open our eyes and show us what we are doing to ourselves.

that statement is false in every single way. We as a species make our own path. Are we capable of the things you wrote? Of course. But we are also capable of soooo much more. As long as man sits and thinks things such as you wrote indeed there will be no progress. But if people start thinking things like what Sagan is saying here we can overcome any obstacle that stands in our way.

We are an adaptable species.

man cant think, we are blinded with the limitations of scociety such as religion.

heres a quote:

"all humans have opinions but few think"

also "man is born free but is chanied by society" by jean jaque rousseau.

people will never start to think, first of all we are mental slaves of the government and of the media, and also we are blind because of society. man is not free, the only way to aqquire freedom is to flee society. you should seriously read "into the wild" even though its the most boring book i ever read it makes sense and helps you.

we are an adapbtable species, but again the government limits that. man is not capable of having very advanced techonlogy, of understanding the universe completly, but when it comes to doubting. to being civilised, to freedom, those are things we cant accomplish.

life is a dystopia every government is corrupt and we live lies.

lol wow talk about conspiracy theory here.

Obviously governments limits thinking theres no doubt about it but I know for a fact I'm not a "mental slave" to anything. I can and will do what I wish with my mind. Our species as a whole is wrought with superstitions, bigotry, hatred, and fear of the unknown. In many ways we haven't come very far in our still infantile span as a species. However there are still amazing things in the world and glimpses of what we can become. That is what Sagan is speaking of here. As he says it will not be us who reaches the stars but a species very similar to us. With all of our strengths and less of our weaknesses. We can change for the better, and I'm confident we will.
