Read about this on the paradox forums this morning. I thought Onoda passed away a year or so back. Glad that he got a number of years back in society, after losing so many. |

I remember reading about this chap a few years ago. His story is truly remarkable. Dead at 91? Seems living off the land and isolated from humans isn't such a bad thing after all. |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
