I found something in common between the two today. It’s a sweet sort of timing given my recent post about the common religious belief that the earth will burn up and some will be whisked away to a better place.
I listened to Peter Diamandis’ TED Talk today. He’s the CEO/Chairman of the X-prize. The prize most well known for being awarded to the first private sector manned spaceflight.
It turns out that he wants to be whisked away too:
"...everything we hold of value on this planet: metals and minerals and real estate and energy is in infinite quantities in space. In fact the earth is a crumb in a supermarket filled with resources."Pfft.

"Pfft."
What are you Pfft -ing, exactly???
The whole idea that everything we hold of value on this planet is in infinite quantities in space.
Space is infinite, so, therefore, no Pfft'in allowed.
I keep meaning to thank you for pointing out the TED talks. I had never heard of them, or the conference itself, before finding this blog.
I really enjoy going to the TED site during lunch and taking in a thoughtful presentation, unlike the ones I have to sit through at work.
So, thanks.
Cool, thanks, you're welcome.
