People in our society are so convinced that there are sentient beings out there beyond our planet that they’ve developed conspiracy theories, religions, and millions-of-dollars-grossing movie franchises about them. Personally, I haven’t given aliens or UFOs much thought. I haven’t had any personal experience with them. And I don’t feel like we’ll be any match [...]
I hit the streets of New York City for my web talk show to ask this very question: why the hell aren’t you doing what you said you wanted to when you were a kid? How do dreams die so easily in our culture? Why do people give up on what they want? I think [...]
