@xxv@mastodon.social Perhaps, as in Carl Sagan‘s Contact, something important comes out of this — «The narrative begins with a series of flashbacks detailing the formative years of Dr. Eleanor “Ellie” Arroway. From a young age, she exhibits a profound curiosity about science and the cosmos, from learning to read as a toddler and repairing a radio as a young child to pursuing a lifelong fascination with the stars. Encouraged by her father, Theodore Arroway, she avidly pursues her intellectual interests.» (The quote is from a summary of the 1985 book, https://www[.]supersummary[.]com/contact-carl-sagan/summary/)
