The inevitable and moreover repeatedly occurring paradox throughout history is that some followers became authentic fanatics of his message, closing themselves off to all reasoning and wielding some of his most popular works as if they were biblical creed. This myth-making is not far removed from that which he fought against during his life. The tendency we humans have in general to seek idols found in him a strong reference point, distorting the message of a popularizer above all willing to advance science and break with the old paradigms of faith.
It seems truly crude to use his name to formalize closed conduct, laden with prejudices and in many cases fundamentalist, I believe he already fought enough in his life against closed-mindedness and intolerance from certain sectors of science, which moreover isolated him.
En uno de sus excelentes documentales, que yo de pequeño más que ver absorbía, explicó que las constelaciones cambian de forma en relación con un observador terrestre, y puesto que los nombres de estas constelaciones y sus atributos en la interpretación astrológica son causados por el parecido que puedan tener con por ejemplo animales, la astrología dejaría de ser funcional en el futuro al cambiar la forma en que contemplamos los astros desde la tierra, de la misma manera en el pasado las figuras que aparentemente observamos ahora serían otras, ¿cómo se puede explicar esto? Es evidente que dentro de la interpretación astrológica existen varios factores que simultáneamente deben tomarse en consideración, las constelaciones zodiacales son uno de estos factores, aunque la revolución de los planetas y su relación angular, así como la que tienen con los cuatro puntos de referencia cardinales es más relevante e inamovible, sin embargo respecto al cambio en la figura que podemos percibir desde la tierra, la respuesta es la más sencilla como suele suceder,
The doctor Sagan pointed out that in different regions of the earth the constellations had different names and what for some turns out to be a cart for others can be a vase, well then that is the answer, first comes the influence and then a reference is sought in the sky, if force and statistical decisiveness is observed in a series of people born in a certain month, a lion was sought in the constellation through which the sun passes and not the other way around, it is something very obvious, as Oakland said in his principle of parsimony the simplest and most straightforward explanation is the correct one.
