   Carl Sagan's 'blue dot'...earth as seen from the rings of Saturn [from voyager   
   space craft I believe]. 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...

   (Seriously, the lesson of Jean-Luc Nancy is the lesson of people from the   
   middle of the 20th century who became    
   'beyond good and evil' in a *very* restricted sense from dealing with too much   
   of the latter. "They Were Expendable"?   
   Not strictly true. They became obsolete as a personality type? Very generally   
   true. Did they think much of "thinking   
   a lot of yourself"? Not at all, not at all.)
