"I'm sure you're all aware
of the extremely grave potential for culture shock and
social disorientation contained in the present situaution, if
the facts were prematurely and suddenly made public without adequate
preparation and conditioning. Anyway, this is the view of the
Council. There must be adequate time for a full study to be made
of the situation before any thought can be given to making a public
announcement.
"Oh yes...
as some of you know, the Council has requested that formal security
oaths be obtained in writing from everyone with knowledge of this
event."
Just what would "adequate preparation
and conditioning" look like, now, in 2004... and what is the
"culture shock and social disorientation" Kubrick and Clarke
warned us of in Heywood Floyd's Clavius briefing from 2001: A
Space Odyssey... 36 years ago?
