| Personal background |
|---|
I've just recently moved back to Helsinki, Finland after having studied abroad in the UK for three years. I majored in Communication Studies, a course that helped me understand how the media and social infrastructure works (not to mention teach me a thing or two about design and film making).
I'm currently pursuing my hobbies in web and graphic design, but I've also recently taken up photography so if you're interested in seeing my portfolio, go to http://phoenix2k.deviantart.com/gallery/
In case you want to contact me, I'm sure you can find a way to send me an email or look me up on one of the messengers out there. I'm pretty much on all of them.
Watch out for 2012,
Peace |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Many ancient civilizations depict visitors from other worlds in their writings and paintings. While many may consider these paintings as nothing more but a fragment of imagination, why is it so hard to acknowledge the fact that other sentient beings may very well be living on another planet far away from our own?
Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky to have been left in peace and a chance to face our own deamons. After all, our current state of affairs is simply a reflection of our own development and the fact that we are still facing major challenges such as the destruction of our own environment, world hunger and wars, this leads me to believe that we still have a few lessons to learn before we can rise up to the next level in our evolution.
I think the SETI project is the first step attempt in showing that there are other civilizations out there and that perhaps one day we may be able to communicate with them. On the other hand, if they would come here and see what we've done with the place, I doubt they'd have any interest in helping us out. Looking from above, we might simply seem like an overexploitive primitive group of animals who illtreat their surroundings and members of their own kind. While we've made tremendous progress over the past centuries, greed, ignorance and neglect are still a part of our every day lives.
Maybe other civilizations have simply been asked to leave us alone until we can figure a way to co-exist with ourselves and learn to work towards a common goal. For now there are too many divides everywhere, ideological, technological, even basic things like food and water. What kind of example are we setting for our visitors when all we do is kill each other over land, money, resources and ideas? |
