We've had discussions on this I know Cliff. These are all things that are potentially devastating. Let me advance this - would it be so bad if 90 percent of humanity was wiped out? I am of the opinion that the planet and all the species we share it with are of more importance than the survival of our civilization. After all just look at us - we've made a mess of it. Such a pandemic would in effect save our planet and us.

As I study and continue to research various aspects of physics and recently revealed phenomena such as UAP, I am of the opinion that we are not alone. How that will impact us, I don't know, but being a science fiction writer I do have some guesses.

As I watch Elon Musk and his inventions - Tesla and SpaceX - I think of them as belonging to the Stone Age. Unless we get access to a highly advanced energy source, I am now absolutely certain exists, we are almost bound for disaster. This source would allow some of us to survive and advance us as a species and a civilization.

That is where I focus my thinking these days, keeping my fingers crossed that others, not from here, believe like me that our kind have some value to galactic evolution.

Nick Madrid's articles will give you some idea of the kind of phenomena and energy sources I am talking about.
