| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Freud said "In the course of centuries the naive self-love of men has had to submit to two major blows at the hands of science. The first was when they learnt that our earth was not the centre of the universe but only a tiny fragment of a cosmic system of scarcely imaginable vastness. . . .The second blow fell when biological research destroyed man's supposedly privileged place in creation and proved his descent from the animal kingdom . . ." Freud stated the third blow would be psychological research's demonstration that man doesn't have complete control over his mind. ("Introductory Lectures, Standard Edition", Vol. XVI, 284-5)
Another probable major blow to man's "naive self-love" will be the discovery that Earth is not special to life creation. And the possible supreme blow to that self-love will be that man's cleverness and capabilities are found to be as miniscule to that extra-terrestrial being's as man views a bug's.
Are all of us who search prepared for what we may find? |
