I located a superior alternative to Starbucks tonight and began reading Nick Pope's "The Uninvited." No blaring music. Just board games, Wi-Fi and coffee.





Pope's book is off to a good start. British ufology seems largely immune to the United States' dogmatic adherence to the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis and narrow-minded take on the "abduction" enigma.





Earlier today I finished Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace": incredibly informative but, as far as ETI is concerned, content to retread familiar concepts. (Although, in Kaku's defense, the book hails from the early 90s -- a distant era by practically any measure. Given Kaku's recent advocacy of disciplined UFO research -- however cautious -- I expect his latest book, "Parallel Worlds," to delve into the prospect of alien contact with more confidence.)





The closing chapters of "Hyperspace" anticipate "Singularitarianism" with an overview of exponential technological growth and a nod to Freeman Dyson's "Astrochicken" approach to space industrialization.

Interestingly, no reference to David Bohm.

WMB--

Good question. I honestly have no idea. But you're more than welcome to ponder it.

FYI: I photographed the board as found. Didn't touch anything.
