X-Message-Number: 15475 From: "Jeff Grimes" <> Subject: To John de Rivas Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 02:11:00 +0000 In response to a message from John De Rivas: He says, "The number of people who make the future happen are very small. The chances of any one given individual influencing the future are extremely small." But this isn't an argument, is it, for being apathetic? It's like saying, "Don't bother to vote." In any case, as I understand it, only TWO (2) scientists developed the new ice blocker for 21st Century Medicine. We don't know if they "influenced the future" yet. But they tried. Similarly, only ONE (1) person wrote about nanotechnology originally. Obviously it's very convenient to say, "Oh, there's nothing I can do, I'm not qualified." But if you haven't tried, how do you know? Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=15475
