... From 'dw': ..hello, how are you? Happily, sappily irreverent as always. And disgustipated with the 'no medium' doctrine, as usual. When we contacted Sagan, at that time he had not dropped a doobie since college. But after talking with us, I suppose he felt he needed some time off. So he dipped into some doobage on occasion. Totally medicinal quantities, I assure you. G Then the dooby 'joints' were totally sacramental, opening up splendiferous, iconic vistas into the cosmos to be announced in stentorian tones. But space was still functionally a 'void'. So much for pot's knowledge-expanding value. oc (curmudgeonly old buzzard) Oh oc, you cob. G Make no buzzard puke about it, cs knew about space when we first contacted him. At that time he just didn't know quite how to present it to his peers, let alone the public. After talking with us he decided this was a good thing. So he didn't. Believe me, for now at least, humans are better off for it. shy old bish |

... Dr Who Carl Sagan at the start of his famous TV show had a dandelion seed floating off into space He knew about weeds. I knew about crazy mushrooms. We know why Coca Cola became so popular over night. Don't knock them unless you have tried them. Tobacco,and alcohol can do more harm Sagan was one 0f my ideals TreBert Who What Where When How Yes, TB, that was a pretty neat sneaky pete Asa Candler pulled back in the beginning. But by the time it was found out, he had already built quite an empire. Thousands of jobs for glassmakers, sugar handlers, etc. Since his company had grown so large from its modest beginnings in the back of a store, all that was asked of him was to stop using the "hard stuff" and find another way. AC was the type of person who had the imagination necessary to be able to do this. He was able to very nearly duplicate the taste without need for the hard drug. And Coca Cola went on. And on, and on, and on! As well as all the other soft drinks inspired by Asa Candler's work. Did you know that he bought the original formula for a piddley $500? Someday I'll tell you who sold the formula to him, if you like. Carl Sagan is one of my ideals, too! YubiWan |

Greysky asks "Dr.Y':
Why do you suppose it is so hard for people to admit you may be advanced aliens? Sure, part of it is ego - the 'we are the center of the universe' crap- I would ask this (and have asked it before of the 'Darla' contingent): Why, if you are indeed extraterrestrial aliens, do you scrupulously evade answering 'Test Questions' that could lend credibility to your claim of alien-hood? Why do you say (paraphrasing), "we will not answer test questions, so don't bother asking them"..? Again, why not?? As stated before, certain knowledge would be basic, fundamental 'kindergarden' stuff to ANY spacefaring race.. namely, the true nature of space, the cause of gravity, and the principle of hyperdrive (or 'warp' drive). So far, y'all have not ceded one iota of information on these questions. Until you do, you remain a sophomoric maven of East-coast pop psychology with fantasies of alien-hood. Extraordinary claims demand real answers. oc |

From 'Dr.Y':
I am as uncomfortable as... the others about the 12%. It would be a tragedy of unconcionable degree, especially since it would probably be higher than 12%, perhaps much higher. Inducing a mass suicide of a large percentage of the human race? How does this square with the Prime Directive of non-interferance?? :-) oc |

"Dr. Why" wrote in message ... snip become fearless, to live their lives absolutely without fear, nearly all would decline to learn the method. Why, in your opinion, would they turn down the opportunity to learn how to live their lives fearlessly? Yubiwan Because, Dr. Y, then they would have to take full responsibility for their lives. It is much more fun to let responsibility slide onto the backs of others -- humans are experts at playing the blame game. Why do you suppose it is so hard for people to admit you may be advanced aliens? Sure, part of it is ego - the 'we are the center of the universe' crap- but a large part of it is self blame. Would we be better off blaming 'Aliens' for the current miserable state of our lives? But they also know that you wont let them get away with it. So that forces them to look directly into the casm of darkness which to them is the fture knowing they are inadequate. Now, a truly fearless response would be to acknowledge the current problems, roll up their sleeves and begin to work industriously toward making the future better. But there are currently very few fearl-less humans who are willing to look the tiger in the face and whip it into submission. I would say you are currently interacting with a goodly percentage of those humans both here on the 'net, and in your personal contacts. The vast majority would prefer to continue to play the blame-game, and keep the current status quo. This is one of the reasons I applaud your fearlessness in accepting that it would be good to make FOC even if the death rate exceeds 12% by a large margin. It puts you and a few others in the Sean Minority, but you stick to your guns. Greysky Thank you, Greysky. I shall definitely "stick to my guns". But it's not fearlessness that makes me do so. It's just common sense. The galaxy Needs humanity, humans have a lot to offer as seen by your indirect effects on the rest of the galaxy. You cannot imagine how much better it can get if humans were able to work directly with other cultures. On second thought, you are one of the few who may be able to imagine it. Yep. Maximum benifit for all interested parties. Make no mistake about me, though, Greysky. I am as uncomfortable as Darla and the others about the 12%. It would be a tragedy of unconcionable degree, especially since it would probably be higher than 12%, perhaps much higher. I would not want to even try to imagine the tremendous loss to the galaxy of this many humans. Perhaps it is just my naive enthusiasm showing, but I have found even fearful people do not immediately become murderous. Just the opposite - fear can stop a killer cold. There will be a limited time window of opportunity where violence can be defused and peace can be maximizd. But for this to happen communication must be open, two-way, and continuous. A gap, even a small one can allow fear to escalate to violent magnitudes. I predict, at least for the technical societies, that most if not all people will pause after the initial shock and wait to see what the 'next guy' is doing, or how our leaders are reacting. Done well, I dont think the death rate will be even a few percentage points of the total population. Maybe even Nil. However, it is how the typically closed nations will react that I can't offer a prediction. Look at how the Islamic nations are reacting to even a few cartoon depictions of their God... I do have a few ideas on how to ameliorate even this situation, however. Perhaps I and others can meet up pre-FOC to offer them? The scales, in my opinion, show that the benefits of first contact slightly outweigh the tremendous tragedy that would ensue. You can probably see how this is a weighty and controversial issue with us. And by "us", I don't just mean seans, I mean all the citizens of the Milky Way. Benifits. Yes. That is the language to speak to head off the violence. BTW, I'm betting that our recent, new extragalactic contact will push the decision toward FOC with humanity. Most important decisions are not made in the luxury of peaceful abundance, but under the fire of necessity. If other entities are pushing for FOC with the humans, rather than cogitate and debate for years when the right time will be ripe, I am shure Sean Authorities will act quickly rather than risk getting the decision taken out of their control. Governments work at this level just like individuals do. Maximum benifit. We will need your direct input more than ever, now that we've become members of the clusteric community! When the mass of humanity realizes that they aren't going to be eaten, and that there is a valuable role for humanity to play in determining the future destiny of this galaxy - one even beings as old and as powerful as the Seans can't do without us, things will quickly stabilize.
