I picked up Carl Sagan’s “Demon Haunted World” recently, and it’s all about this question of why certain myths, urban legends, and superstitions, persist. Really worth the read. He often pointed out the precariousness of living in a world that runs on science, but where few people understand science. People who know me here know that I’m a big Sagan fan, but seriously — wish we had him around for times like these.
