[QUOTE="taykair, post: 178126, member: 9418"] I really hope that you meant that in the same way that [USER=6923]@Peaceseeker[/USER] did in his post, otherwise I don't really know how to respond. Surely there's [I]something[/I] about our species that you find worthy, so I'm just going to chalk it up to you having a bad day. Every so often, I also get the feeling that this world is just one massive dung heap, but I snap out of such moodiness rather quickly. And besides, like [USER=2769]@titorite[/USER] said, there’s ice cream. [CENTER]* * * * *[/CENTER] And I appreciate how supportive you - as well as some of the other folks here - have been. As for the quality of the material: I can't take credit for the YouTube videos, of course. They are all the work of others (and fine work it is). As far as the stuff I've written at this site is concerned, the quality is mediocre at best but I still appreciate the complement. [CENTER]* * * * *[/CENTER] Speaking of mediocre works: [I]Traveller’s Tale[/I] is now available as an e-book on Amazon. It sells for 99 cents – which is about one dollar more than what it’s worth. Of course, nobody here has to bother with buying the e-book, since the entire story can be read [URL='https://paranormalis.com/threads/travellers-tale.14493/']here[/URL].

What’s so great about humanity? The noble idea that is “It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.” [MEDIA=youtube]CSav51fVlKU[/MEDIA] I admit it. I’m cuckoo for Kaku. Sure, in this interview, the interviewer calls Jeff Bezos “Steve” (but everybody makes mistakes) and the professor trots out the tired, old “man-made global warming” hypothesis. Still, I just love this guy’s enthusiasm and belief in humanity’s destiny. [MEDIA=youtube]f1jMRBnztU4[/MEDIA] In the early 16th century, it took Ferdinand Magellan’s crew a little over three years to circumnavigate the globe. In 1995, an Air France Concorde accomplished this feat in just over 31 hours. If you have about ninety minutes to spare, then you can do it, too – virtually, that is.
