Many folks here may recall ePluribus Media, a citizen journalism effort which was born from a Daily Kos investigation and blossomed into a respected online blog & magazine before finally waning & fading a few years back.
One of the shortest, and yet most memorable items I posted there was a short video, posted on 1 September 2010. It was a cool little flash video called "We Are Science Probes" by Billy Blob.
It's short, set in Earth's future after the human race is gone and civilization left in ruins, yet makes a powerful statement about logic, education and the "conservative" war on science.
Please watch it - and note the various references made, particularly when a science probe discovers & explores a "knowledge center."
A big "Thank You" to billyblob who originally gave us permission to post the embedded video on ePluribus Media in September of 2010, and now has it available on YouTube. Special thanks to The Sun for the music, and a hat-tip to David Brin for mentioning the video on FaceBook.
What do you think? Please share your comments below, and be sure to thank billyblob for the video.
