Representing Humankind to Extraterrestrial Higher Life Forms

The question posed here is one that many of us have asked ourselves frequently throughout our lives.

My belief: The best response probably isn’t a present-day world-leader, even the president of one of the most enlightened countries on Earth, and thus it’s not a “household name.”

Most of us have our own personal mentors: people who arrived in our lives accidentally, who have impressed us beyond words, and changed our lives forever.  These are the people we would have represent humankind if such a situation arose.
