| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a 76-year married man with a high IQ son and daughter, moderately well to do and retired in a dreadful small town in central Florida after a journalism career in the borough of Manhattan, New York City. We still have an apartment in Manhattan which we visit regularly. My health is poor but my cognition is intact. I have a Master's degree in English language and literature from a Big Ten university. My specialty was and still is contemorary American(and English language) literary fiction. I have recently studied postmodernism. We have traveled to all the continents and many countries around the world.
In the first half of my career I was an on-the-spot reporter for WNEW-AM and then WOR-AM. In the second half, I covered the stock market for Dow Jones for several years, and retired to write a novel. I then returned to covering the stock market, this time at Reuters world-wide financial service. I had a by-line at both places.
Like Carl Sagan, I believe there must be some form of intelligence in space that has sent radio (or some other) signals into the cosmos. Discovery is inevitable if we keep trying and can totally change this world's thinking about faith and science and the arts and cognition itself. It would be the most influential discovery in the history of our world. |

As I say above in my profile, discovery of other intelligence or any form of cognition and communication in the cosmos would be the most influential discovery in the world's history. Lika Sagan, I think it must be out there.
As an MIT professor once told me, such a discovery would completely change comparative philosophy. |
