Arthur C. Clarke Egogram

By Gregon

KurzweilAI.net has posted an ‘egogram’ from renowned space pioneer, futurist and author Arthur C. Clarke, which gives an update on his current activities and interests. In amongst the list is an ambitious program by the Arthur C Clarke Centre “to investigate the reach and impact of human imagination.” It’s objective is…

…to identify young people with robust imagination, to help their parents and teachers make the most of that talent, and to accord imagination as much regard as high academic grades in the classroom – anywhere in the world….I’m hopeful that the billion dollar communications satellite industry I founded 60 years ago with my Wireless World paper (October 1945), for which I received the astronomical sum of £15, will be partners in this endeavour.

Other mentions in the egogram include Clarke’s thoughts on the rise of private space enterprise, and the status of his current book projects.

  1. Extraterrestrials want world domination.
    UFOs are to be spotted around military bases all over the world, that there are military centers hidden underground all over the United States and that some people can even hear a disturbing buzzing sound in the southwestern U.S., which can only be caused by some massive underground project. What could the government be trying to hide? Why the need for massive security? Can we really doubt that governments are capable of making a deal with an alien race? After all, why not allow these foreign races to take animals and humans for experiments, genetic engineering or any other purpose in exchange for technology going far beyond our own primitive scientific knowledge? Stories of abductions would suggest that aliens and those who deal with them have proved themselves to be far from trustworthy. Such actions are frightening and point to nothing less than a malevolent conspiracy.

    Much UFO activity conveys a seemingly harmless program under the guise of exploration. By acting out a pretense of having no intention of domination, extraterrestrials feign what humans would term conscience, if a primitive conscience, of good and evil. And moreover, they are able to persuade our governments why they should work in cooperation together. They pile on the pathos and by claiming to be a physically weakened race who merely need to join their genetic makeup with a more developed human DNA structure to survive, they present a convincing tale that they have escaped from a dying planet and need the help of sympathetic foreigners. They thus manage to satisfy the humanitarian instincts in governments. And so the saga continues and it would seem that we are heading towards inevitable catastrophe. Because as long as our governments continue in their naive gullibility, going along in their blindly altruistic beliefs that their deal with the aliens is mutually beneficial, the more leeway this gives the aliens. It would seem that the fate of our entire race, not to mention our planet, is at stake here. World domination by an extraterrestrial people is not an entirely comfortable prospect.
