Some Highlights from the Episode
Stephen Jenkinson at about 38:30:
[In our day and age] sanity takes the form of grief…of immense sorrow….The most sorrow-burdened people of today might be the people who get it.
At about 1:14:30, Gail Zawacki quotes Paul Chefurka in her weekly Dispatch from the Endocene:
Is there bread and milk on the store shelves? If so, everything is fine, so abortion and infanticide can be regarded as sins. Cut the food supply by 50%, and watch the morality change.
Further on (at about 1:17:30), Gail brings up Fermi’s Paradox and (unwittingly?) restates the Great Filter Theory:
…I can only think that the solution to Fermi’s Paradox is that sad and paradoxically comforting notion that by the time a species achieves the technology to travel or communicate through space, it will have run out of resources and out of time.
