Dude's Maxims

Dude's Maxims

By bright garlick

Dude is the public name I use for an ET friend. Dude's Maxims are an ongoing series of Maxims and Insights provided by Dude during our many face to face and telepathic conversations. Sometimes witty, sometimes challenging, always wise. You can read more of Dude's wisdom in the upcoming books Interview with an Extraterrestrial and Conversation with an Extraterrestrial. Extracts from both books can be found at etandi.wordpress.com.

Episode 13 : Everthing is Connected - Microbiomes and Life

Episode 13 : Everthing is Connected - Microbiomes and Life

In this brief extract Dude talks about how the 4 scales of microbiomes (communities of microbial life forms) are connected to everything else in the cosmos. This maybe a pertinent lesson given the current Covid-19 hysteria that is sweeping around the planet. Maybe Covid-19 can teach us about how everything is connected and how everything we do can effect everything else!

Episode 7 : The Development of Relationships Between ET Races.

Episode 7 : The Development of Relationships Between ET Races.

In todays Dude feast, I introduce the idea of co-learning from Toby Walsh as a model for advanced learning and then give you a short extract from Dude's response to question 18 from the Interview book : "Many of us are "bullies and wusses" (aggressive and non aggressive). Is this common in the universe, of early staged civilizations who are evolving? Or are we an irritating exemption that obviously needs babysitters in order not to self destruct?... " Dude's emphasis here (in contrast to my own) is the need for understanding diversity in relationships and how each race learns. And while he has hinted at the importance of a kind of co-learning, he has always emphasised tolerance over being a particular way!
