I agree with you Eric. I'm thinking of the people who lived in lonely little villages out on the steppes who, instead of hiding, waved as Genghis Kahn's army went by. Some of the women may have been carried off instead of killed outright so the "wave at anybody before you know who they are" gene still survives in METI people.
Has it occurred to anyone that we may be receiving alien transmissions but we don't recognize them. Maybe the signal is very weak and their mode of communication is unknown to us. This is your research I guess and not mine so you might know what the probability of this is. If aliens spoke to us would anybody know what they were saying? We know, or suspect, dolphins and quite a few other species right here on earth communicate with each other. Does anybody know what they are saying?

Survival of the fittest is an idea also used by famous eugenicists like the Nazis. The salient feature of human evolution has been altruism and cooperation. Without it we would not be here. There is nothing wrong with capitalism, but it does lead to oligarchy and complete and overwhelming monopoly by corporations who then defend themselves by touting this "survival" stuff. Oligarchy and monopoly are the enemies of capitalism and the leaders of these monopolies will tend to form a crony-capitalist state. In a crony-capitalist state only cronies do business - everybody else sits out. Survival of the fittest should apply to products and not corporations. Corporations see it the other way, of course. In the 1970s better cars started to be imported from Japan to the US. Did US auto makers then start to produce a better product? No, they lobbied the government for import tariffs.
