Bravo. A wonderful play on words..
I'm starting to feel really strange continuing this conversation about Martians
on the Extropian list.
John, I am very sympathetic to your opinion. I'm also not saying that we should
start going hysterical about little Martians building humanoid statues. What do
we know about Human history? We have that damn Sphinx. Now dated at nearly
10,000 years old. There seems to be no evidence that we even had a civilization
that could build the thing. (at least no artifacts to prove it) What if our
ancient history was radically different than we'd like to think it is??
Does your brain fall out on to the floor when you open up to an idea like that??
