Just linking an awesome presentation by Douglas Adams. Definitely worth the viewing (from what I'm told - haven't gotten a chance to view it yet!). Enjoy!
Douglas Adams: Parrots, the universe, and everything else Apparently an interesting comparison is Adams' optimistic viewpoint of humankind and its impact on the earth contrasted with George Carlin's similar but more pessimistic viewpoint. How awesome is it that the two get to be compared? =D
