This theory is a continuation of her idea of "the mattering map", first suggested in her novel The Mind–Body Problem.

She has also stressed the role that secular philosophical reason has made in moral advances.

Deringhouse fools the blue-skinned Ferrons by using some blue berries to paint his skin, if you can believe that. The next episode where we are told how our Terran friends actually get the ship is unfortunately boring.

Rarely does an American or European child grow up without an introduction to Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Ugly Duckling," "The Princess and the Pea," or "Thumbelina." Andersen began publishing his fairy tales in 1835, and they brought him almost immediate acclaim among Danish and German readers, followed quickly by the French, Swedes, Swiss, Norwegians, British, and Americans.
