That Sagan phrase inspired me to adapt a Descartes principle:

Because I am conscious, the universe is conscious.

A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says “Say, you’re in here a lot, are you maybe an alcoholic?”

The horse says “I don’t think I am.” and immediately vanishes.

I would have said at the start that it was going to be a Descartes joke, but that would have been putting Descartes before de horse

I’m not sure I’ve heard that one, very similar and awesome. I should read some of him, yes I know very famous just something I haven’t got around to doing.

I’m glad you haven’t heard it because from my perspective, the universe thought I had come up with it myself, haha. But I haven’t read Descartes either, so I cannot say for certain.
