Profile: Seventh Spirit

Personal background
I am a network engineer and lead researcher at Time Distance Productions.

Phoenix, an experimental Beowulf operating system that my organisation has written is currently running the Seti@Home client in a linux emulater as a test run of it's distributed processing facilities. (Distributed Computer in a Distributed Computer) :D

Currently age 18, I love computers(especially distributed systems), graphics rendering, world-peace(I believe it can be achieved if we all work together), and am into Babylon 5 and various other sci-fi's.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that Extra-Terrestial life exists, however, I believe that humanity in it's present form is not ready to become part of the galactic market-place.

Our world is still very much fragmented into many different nations of which many are still at war. Trillions of dollars of our Gross Domestic Product that we produce each year as a world is wasted in war and in military pursuits. How can we hope to survive against Alien civilisations that are united as a planet? Or those larger ones which have settled many other planets?

We need to start planning for the future today, looking at ways in which we can work together as a species to solve some common goals as a species and to look after each individual person to make sure they don't get lost. One of the main focuses should be on establishing a democratic world government in which free trade exists and under which the existing military can be down-played to a minor role, preserving our resources for our expansion as a species.

I don't have any delusions that our technology can detect extra terrestial life before they detect us. We use slow radio waves and they probably use Quantum Synchroncity(see Quantum Computers for further details) as some form of scanner. However on the odd-chance that it is possible, it is more advantageous to find them before they find us so that we can prepare ourselves as a species for first contact instead of the possibility of it happening by surprise.
