It puts into context how small we are...and though we may       contemplate things like this        universe, looking down from such a far away perch surely shrinks our       egotistical personification of higher forces [like gods or God or pantheistic       panacea]. But I do sympathize with the radical zealot [religious]...as I       sympathize with all of us...for        we all seek meaning however we can, no matter how we twist our brains into       pretzels in the attempt over many generations. It's not that we should just       leave behind our belief systems, but realize we have bigger fish to fry       perhaps...say in upcoming AI...       that promises to UNDO all TRUTH and information...              ...even this post. Can you trust it? And distrust will destroy us in the       end...as it permeated into the destruction of over 130+ souls on that fateful       November 13, 2015 day in Paris.               Carl Sagan's 'blue dot from Saturn's rings'...and his commentary. A       consciousness raising little piece softly fading into our past but just as       relevant...forever as we exist.              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO5FwsblpT8              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
