Do not look up.
Do not wonder at our place in the cosmos.
Do not dream or look for constellations that inspire.
Do not believe we, the only concious life in the universe (afawk), are special.
Do not feel connected to the universe.

'CHRISTIAN, n. One who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbor. One who follows the teachings of Christ in so far as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.'

There's so much that's useful in the Moon Agreement, and not least the international regime. We should push it!
