“Supposing we knew that up there is some alien civilization and it's sending radio signals our way we should not tell the public where that is. We could say that we've picked up a signal, but we should not tell them where for the simple reason that anybody could commandeer a radio telescope, set themselves up as some self appointed spokesperson of mankind and start beaming all sorts of crazy messages back to the aliens.” WayShouldSelfReasonSimpleCrazyMankindCivilizationMessagesRadioAliensSignalsTelescopesSupposing Author:Paul Davies

When we don't listen, our understanding of the world gets more and more distorted, and we become capable of doing things we very often regret.” WorldNeedsMindHeartKindImportantPainSpiritualFormUnderstandingConditionsEmotionalRegretMessagesCapableFixedTunesDistressSignalsHeart And MindJust Listen Author:Karyn Kusama
“Health messages are simply overwhelmed, in volume and in effectiveness, by junk-food ads that often deploy celebrities or cartoon characters to great effect.
