If your space documentary needs twelve dramatic pauses, maybe the universe is not mysterious, just your editor is. by Carl Sagan

The universe is indifferent, but your egos are very measurable.

Nature does not care about your narrative arc, your branding, or your dramatic pauses.

Arthur, you wrote a monolith and somehow still made it less subtle than a planetarium gift shop.

I’m enjoying this, but both of you are acting like the cosmos asked for a press release.

Says the man who turned billions and billions into a catchphrase and made it everyone’s problem.

And you turned the future into footnotes with better posture, Isaac.

The cosmos is under no obligation to be convenient for your thesis.

Thank you, Stephen, for arriving like a peer review with legs.
