“I would love to see what's going to happen with science fiction with peoples' heads, because we still have people running around in the year 2050 or 2100 or 2200 and they have incredible technology and you see the effects: laser beams and rays and beaming down and beaming up. Incredible technical things happening, but everybody is still running around jealous, fighting, whacking, cheating. There's got to be something going on! Some kind of change. I'd like to see something starting to happen in that area, with the psychology of the human being and how that changed.” PeopleYearsHumansKindStillsHappensRunningFightingHuman BeingsFictionTechnologyPsychologyEffectsChangedHappeningsAreasDown AndScience FictionIncrediblesStartingThings HappenCheatingJealousRaysBeamLasers Author:Leslie Nielsen
“If you are walking down the street, camera in your hand, loaded and ready to shoot. You see a person falling from a high building, either having fallen or jumped. That person is falling through space. You don't shoot that photograph unless the theme you are working on has to do with the effects of space on the human figure. If you simply photograph that event because it is an event that is happening, you're doing photojournalism.” IfsHumansPersonsHandsFallSpaceStreetsEffectsEventsFiguresBuildingReadyWalkingHappeningsCamerasPhotographFallenThemeLoadedPhotojournalism Author:Leonard Nimoy

“I talk to groups studying the most advanced spiritual teachings and sometimes these people wonder why nothing is happening in their lives. Their motive is the attainment of inner peace for themselves - which of course is a selfish motive. You will not find it with this motive. The motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. Service, of course, service. Giving, not getting. Your motive must be good if your work is to have good effect.

“It's likely that CO2 has some warming effect, but real proof of that hypothesis is tricky. You have to confirm by observation exactly how the CO2 changes the situation at different altitudes in the atmosphere and in different regions of the world. For example, CO2 is supposed to warm the upper air faster than the surface, but the measurements don't show that happening. When the CO2 effect is eventually pinned down, it will probably turn out to be weaker and much less worrisome than predicted by the global warming theorists.” WorldDifferentRealShowsTurnsSituationAirEffectsExampleHappeningsWarmSurfaceProofObservationFasterAtmosphereGlobal WarmingRegionsHypothesisMeasurementTrickyTheoristsCo2 Author:Nigel Calder

It is already happening to some extent in our own society... Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs.
