Dr. #MuhammadIttefaq interviews Dr. #WilliamRees

Is it scientific impossibility or simply human ego that stops us from entertaining the idea of extraterrestrial visitation?

Ich lese gerade "The Arrogant Ape" von C. Webb. Etwas langgezogen, aber sehr interessant, kann ich empfehlen.
Hier ein Interview zum Buch mit der Autorin: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/anim...

Dr. Christine Webb presents a new mindset for de-centering humans and offers a celebration of humility that leads to a new understanding of other species—and ourselves.
