Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I'm sure extraterrestrial life exists.
The discovery 'll be now or later.
The idea is already changing our vieuw upon ourselves.
We're already little planets trying to communicate with each other.
Wishing for care and consideration.
The concept of the self will undergo the greatest change.
We'll have to see if we're ready for it.
The forming of an global consiousness as is happening at this moment will be
crusial.
2. No we're not ready for that.
3. Curiousity, proud to take part in an global project.
suggestions: Make up a list of most asked questions an ideas there are in the
world when contacting other intelligent liveforms.
It'll help forming an idea of our common vieuw.
