Famous Steven Magee Quotes

“Dear Mauna Kea Observatories, I know that telescopes do not belong on sacred sites. I also know that you are willfully damaging your workers health by building astronomical observatories in known biologically toxic environments. As such, I now respectfully request your resignation from the very high altitude sacred mountain of Mauna Kea. Sincerely, Steven Magee, Damaged Mauna Kea worker.”

“I was living in a state where the mountains tower up to 12,637 feet and some of them have manned telescopes atop them! Many towns are thousands of feet high in Arizona! I saw people just like me in those telescopes. Confused and forgetful, struggling in their jobs, looking ill, clearly fatigued and known to the management teams for their poor performance in the workplace. Some of my astronomy coworkers have died relatively young, others have gone on to develop cancers and illnesses, and some are just weird! Hypoxia can do a myriad of strange things to people.”

“When I went to the medical profession complaining of fatigue and forgetfulness, they diagnosed me with Mental Illness, Sleep Apnea and Small Airways Disease. What I actually had was far larger and included Altitude Hypersensitivity, Circadian Rhythm Disorder and Urea Cycle Disorder, and all of them cause fatigue and forgetfulness!”
