And this is going to take us learning how to stop shouting at each other and labeling each other and to start cooperating with each other.Īnyway, thanks for sharing, it inspired me to share. And we need to do our part not to collectively waist this opportunity to thrive that our ancestors have given us. (Unless, of course, science) Even if we all call ourselves Libertarians, or Democrats or Republicans, how can that label ever fully encompass the complexity of each of our individual thoughts, fears and hopes? I reject political affiliation. The one expression of this version of DNA the world will ever see. Why do we want to homogenize humanity so badly? Why must we all think the same or be enemies? I reject that thinking. I believe that we will always see ways to live life differently. Stop denying science, and make science better and more accessible as this show does so beautifully. What if instead of "Political Affiliation" we all were open to finding the best version of the facts as possible.
We cannot create peace through war and we can not continue to refuse to hear each other out, dehumanize and criticize each other and expect things to get better. I have also seen that we cannot create unity through fighting. It has been increasingly clear to this redditor that there are interests that control much of our the wealth, influence and power in the world that will do almost anything to not disrupt the status quo. Somehow we need to figure out how to unite. It has been an eye-opening experience that is for sure. I never thought my mind would be changed on such a polarized issue like this. I love this show, and I learn something every time I watch it. This is exactly what I needed to be able to see that yes, we are doing this, and we need to fix it. It was the one showing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, and it showed how insanely high it sky rocketed in the 20th century. There was one graph that really shocked me. Neal DeGrasse Tyson went through all of the reasons that earth could be heating up, and explained why they could or couldn't be a contributing cause. It was JUST the science, explained in a simple way so anyone can understand. There was no political rhetoric to try to sift through. This one episode has totally changed my mind on this issue. And I thought this issue was just so politicized(which to be fair, it is highly politicized) that I just didn't know how to even begin to get a straight answer on this issue. I've always thought that we have just been going through another cycle that the earth has always gone through. I am a conservative libertarian(not that it really matters what my political ideology is lol), and I have always kind of doubted that us humans are the cause of the warming. Just finished the episode, and there are a few things I want to say.
