It's an awfully poignant & sad allegory for how humanity & #neoliberalism is failing to address both chronic problems like #poverty & #publichealth & existential threats to humanity such as #nuclearweapons, #ClimateCrisis, #biodiversity loss & even approaching asteroids.
The best line is towards the end when @LeoDiCaprio's character, his family & the two scientists who attempted to warn humanity are eating their final dinner together & they are bantering about relatively mundane things like store-bought vs homemade cake & brewing coffee.

I wonder what his nickname would have been? Low-information Carl? Sleepy Carl? The MAGA crowd claps wildly clutching their misspelled posters and their MAGA hats streaming Sean Hannity on their IPhones and rubbing the blisters from their Ivanka shoes. #CarlSagan 1/5
Ignorance is not bliss...it is fear and hate and anger.They don’t want to be reminded of what they don’t know.They want their mushy melon heads filled up with the certainty only he can give them.The moral certainty that they are the pinnacle of creation with the “best” thoughts.
They don’t need no education...they don’t need no thought control..well not in the elitist academic sense. Their education is the school of a thousand disappointments where they have been oppressed and misunderstood. 3/5 #Cult45
