Didn't Know

Two people from the district office visited my home and told me I was eligible to recieve AstraZeneca's vaccine for the coronavirus. Didn't know that.

I signed up for the free vaccination at a clinic within a few minutes walk. 

Think they are crosschecking eligible people with those who applied for a vaccination and vaccinated people. Very proactive.

I sometimes go through several weeks, sometimes months, without watching Korean news on TV or online. Most of the media is directly controlled by the right wing (ie. rich) and often have TV news shows with conservative guests as commentators criticizing the Moon administration and the ruling progressive party. Very depressing. 

My children don't watch the news either. Wonder why? I never talked to them about my opinions on the media. They probably come down to the same conclusions. 



Alien Lifeforms?

Physically, life has limits. 

Intellectually? Depends on whether knowledge is finite?

If humans "meet" other worldly "creatures", it will most likely be more an intellectual, rather than physical meeting?

What would a more advanced civilization, or intellectual "being", communicate to us? Avoid climate change, be truthful?

Such a being most likely would try to communicate with us through telepathy. But how would we understand that "being", if the "being" only planted seeds of thoughts in our consciousness, and left the decision up to us (as in Startrek - not interfering in "untouched" civilizations)?
