What surprised me most was that in the past people saw crop circles as a demonic symbol, and people were superstitious and kept away from such unknown symbols.
2. Crop circles are relevant today because they are seen as tourist attractions because of the craftsmanship of crop circles which makes them intriguing to many people.
3. I found that the most interesting research was the theory of crop circles being a means of communication from extraterrestrial beings due to the digital transmission sent by NASA in 1974.
4. I would most likely remember that crop circles are seen as art rather than seen as alien messages, after they've been debunked.
5. Of all the pseudosciences i believe is the most harmful is people like Oprah, telling people that they need to do this or that in order to gain something in life. people who believe in this may do something that they were told and can hurt themselves or others, what i find least damaging are the healing stones, they don't seem to hurt people in any significant way and is more of a calming experience.
6. If i were to pass on my knowledge to a friend of family member is that no one is special in the world, no matter who they are or what they've done, once your gone they rest of the world moves forward, in other words, don't let your ego make you feel like your the center of the universe.]]> 2019-04-07 20:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pulkit_jain/assignment1_gned1512/wish/349296840
