Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now.

Re: What if anything are you listening to now?
An appropriate moment to post a link to this - Pale Blue Dot by Sound of Contact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVm4uc_zHmM If the singer looks/sounds familiar it may be because his Dad is Phil Collins. Quite similar.

Sound of Contact wrote a track called Pale Blue dot. It's good it's is. Phil Collins junior is the singer. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/mVm4uc_zHmM
Re: What if anything are you listening to now?
"dm We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity ÔøΩ in all this vastness ÔøΩ there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. ÔøΩ""âCarl Sagan, speech at Cornell University, October 13, 1994"

Re: What if anything are you listening to now?
Is that the book Pale Blue Dot? I have read all of Carl Sagan's books (at least I dont think I missed any out) and they were a fascinating read. It was a few years ago now and I've thought about re-reading some of them sometime.

Re: What if anything are you listening to now?
An interesting Bill Burr thing on Netflix. Just paused it to make coffee. It's his take on a documentary he watched about how law enforcement/FBI/whoever (they seem to have multiple layers and agencies out there) recruited a drug dealer prisoner to trap an imprisoned serial killer into confessing where the bodies were. In exchange for his freedom.
