As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms.

We have collected the stories of over 670,000 people who have been injured or killed as a result of someone not thinking critically. We do this not to make light of their plight. Quite the opposite. We want to honor their memory and learn from their stories.
