Richard Dolan's talk here is an erudite analysis of the issues we as a species are confronted by with the emerging notion that political interaction is going on between groups of our species and external (or advanced sub-terrain) life forms. Richard is a scholar and brings an academic approach to analysis of the political dynamics. They are more convoluted than one could imagine without some familiarity with the topic and in my view are increasingly as important an event in history as the very emergence of conciousness in man.
