Cognitive Coherence is Ziara Walter Akari's Universe where she talks about Climate and Sustainability, Stoicism, Economics, Art and Literature, War and the World. She sometimes writes letters to aliens (they are mostly marked in cc) to help them connect the dots about the existence of human civilization; she believes it would give the aliens closure, in a strange way when they invade the earth only to find the planet and the sapiens' civilization in ashes. She is overtly optimistic that her podcast is going to survive the apocalypse. In her words, "The universe's got my back"

    "The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

    “Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility for our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power.

None of us are the same as we were yesterday, nor will be tomorrow.” - B.J. Neblett
