Graham is someone I have admired for many years, as he is not afraid to question authority or dogmatic consensus thinking. This has taken many forms, through his books, television shows and podcast appearances, all conducted in the face of constant criticism and derision from the established voices in his field. Enquiry with an open mind is vital to human progress, a fact forgotten by many, but one that Graham is keen to champion in his work. Thomas Kuhn would agree wholeheartedly.

After all, Earth was the unquestioned center of the universe until it was no longer.

I remember reading “Fingerprints of the Gods” many years ago and was instantly captivated. This fascination continues today with Graham’s many appearances on the “Joe Rogan Experience” and his hit show “Ancient Apocalypse” providing similar excitement for a new audience. I agree with Graham that there is much to be learned from the wisdom of indigenous cultures and follow their lead in re-building our connection with the earth and nature on a more even, symbiotic basis, than currently exists today. The rapacious appetite of western driven global capitalism is simply not sustainable. We must act to protect this pale blue dot, floating through the vastness of space, that we call home.
