The people of this planet have the right to know the truth , if a few people cant handle it that's tough , you cant mollycoddle the few to the detriment of the many .
Michio lives in my neighborhood (NYC, Upper West Side) and I ran into him a few weeks ago when he was at a local flea market held in a school's large outside play area. He was with his wife. I went up to him and I said: "Hi Michio. You know, I have no idea what it is you speak of on TV as your kind of thinking is way over my head." But I said it in a light, levity-type of way. And we both cracked up at the same time.
It is true, though. He doesn't address the average Joe on the street. His thinking, while futuristic, has nothing to do with our present world. And what he is saying is not translateable to what we do every day. So his audience is really quite small, only for thinkers like him. Nice, friendly guy, though.
