“I spent a lot of time reading blogs by mothers who had children with varying degrees of neural dysfunction, from schizophrenia to all sorts of different issues. And honestly, I don't think it's different for anybody. There's no right way to make sure your child will be emotionally and mentally healthier.

“I loved being on the other side of the camera and interacting with the crew.

“The issue, as correctly emphasized by Carl Sagan, is the probability of the evolution of high intelligence and an electronic civilization on an inhabited world. Once we have life (and almost surely it will be very different from life on Earth), what is the probability of its developing a lineage with high intelligence? On Earth, among millions of lineages of organisms and perhaps 50 billion speciation events, only one led to high intelligence; this makes me believe in its utter improbability.” WorldBelieveDifferentEarthMillionsIssuesEventsEvolutionCivilizationBillionsAstronomyDevelopingOrganismsProbabilityLineageImprobabilitySaganSpeciation Author:Ernst Mayr
