      That actually might have a real effect … like everyone is gonna start fearing a “unknown entity” that they all heard … and that might help people bond together and overcome their differences. - Only issue … the next generation who hasent heard it would declare the old people senile/insane and before any major development could happen … it would pass into history without much change.

          Curiously, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell, was: ‘Oh no, not again.’ Many have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that, we should know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.

            I’ve read the chapter where it’s explained yesterday, now that I’m also reminded of the context it makes much more sense.

        You can bet stocks like SpaceX will sky rocket in price, since people know there are aliens on other planet now, not just conspiracy or theory.
