    maybe15 years ago I was at Arcosanti. I was reading about the need to minaturize to get off the planet.

    Paolo Soleri is the founder. I heard him talk. He talked about the problems with religion with respect to war, and the need to get off the planet because "anything alone dies."

    He's really smart and he would host events where really smart people would get together and brainstorm.

    :D

    I think he wants us to start working on it harder before we get smashed by a big rock or something. It's coming. We just don't know when.

    We gotta have room for my dog, too.

  4. Of course he can come too. We'll round up two of every animal to bring with us to space. We'll need a massive spaceship and the possibilities of this are highly improbable...but even when we fail, the story will live on for thousands of years and be told as truth by some gullible humans!
