"もっと謙虚なのは誰ですか?宇宙をオープンな心で見て宇宙が教えてくれることを何でも受け入れる科学者ですか、それともこの本に書かれているすべてのことを文字通りの真実と考え、人間が関与する際の誤りを気にしない人ですか。"

Carl Sagan

Simplified Meaning:

A humble person is open to learning new things and willing to change their understanding based on new evidence. For example, a scientist studies the world with an open mind, ready to accept new discoveries, even if they challenge old beliefs. This attitude helps us grow and understand more about the universe. On the other hand, someone who insists that every word in an old book is absolute truth ignores human mistakes and new information. They aren't open to changing their views, even if new evidence shows they might be wrong. By being open-minded like the scientist, we can adapt, learn, and improve our understanding of the world. This approach helps us make better decisions based on the best available knowledge.
