Too loud.............................................?

Jarod and Leslie Anderson have published a new book, 100 Prompts for Science Fiction Writers.  Prompt # 16 goes like this:

"Psychically sensitive aliens show up and complain that Earth is being too loud.  The are obviously more technologically advanced than us and more than a little intimidating.
    What is the discussion on Earth?  Do we meet their demands and try to be more neighborly?  What major changes would have to happen in society?  Are Zen Buddhists recruited to help quiet noisy minds?  Do people fight back to retain their freedom of thought?  What are the consequences if Earth doesn't quiet down?

If you struggle to "think outside the box,"  you might take a peek at this dandy little book.  It will get you thinking.
