 What is Extraordinary?
It seems that the references to extraordinary are all about personal experiences (lucid dreaming, personal income, what a person perceives, or creates) This seems to be a pretty small scale of "extraordinary".
Perhaps Carl Sagan was talking about something on a larger scale. Perhaps something like Global Warming, or war crimes of a US President.
Wouldn't these claims call for extraordinary evidence and proof? These aren't personal experiences. They affect millions of people over generations.
Seems like a good quote to me if we expand our assumptions of extraordinary beyond the personal.
