| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Yes - ET (sentient or not) is Out There (Somewhere) & it is only time, skill, intelligence, patience and luck{?} (either one, all or some of the previous) that will prevail in our First Contact. As such, it is infinitely preferable that we ("normalised" {pragmatic} humans) have the benefit of the knowledge of their existence before they do; hence my efforts towards the SETI project. There are only good and prudent reasons for my opinion and I challenge anyone out there (in cyberspace or "Real Space" if you're reading this) to prove otherwise without going into all the details here.
Following this core logic then it is likely that the reason we have not "heard" from them yet (in the "News", i.e. public knowledge) is that any other sentient beings that are doing what we are doing now (as a planet - broadcasting our existence to all and sundry) haven't survived for very long or have learnt from the error of their ways and are actively "hiding".
I do not and cannot accept that ET are as altruistic as we more often make them out to be. With resources in space being so far apart and travel being so difficult and any visitors being as "advanced" and "logical" enough to make the trip I believe that we would seem more like the North American Bison - just another resource. I rest my case.
P.S. I would also suggest to the Seti team that they spend some of their computing and analysing effort looking to some of the least likely areas of the data spectrum rather than the most obvious as they make the erroneous assumption that ET (sentient and dangerous) wants to be found! |
