When you teach people to accept nonsense, they learn to accept nonsense. I keep remembering Cartman saying he really only needs to read one book and not all those other books, meaning his actual schoolbooks.

I will always thank the Sagan’s, Dawkins’s, Roddenberry’s and Stan Lee’s of the world for helping educate me around these worries.
