Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
My fascination with SETI and the searh for extraterrestrial life began a long time ago as a child and culminated in a trip that my brothers and I took to New Mexico this past summer. We passed by Alamagordo, White Sands and Roswell and I was particularly interested in learing that the search for life beyond earth's boundaries had a rich and articulate history. I was also able to learn about the vital role that women have played in space exploration and wished that they could have a more visible and vocal role in such a search. My brother runs SETI on his computers at home and suggested I do the same. I figure that its my small contribution to this ongoing, vital exploration and search. I definitely do believe that extraterrestrial life exists -- I think that human beings are self-centered if they think that they are the only "life form" in all universes. I am of the opinion that humans HAVE discovered other life forms and that we are just in denial, denial because as a species we have our identity so wrapped up in issues of superiority and power. I think a possible benefit of such a discovery (and not being in denial) is that we will finally realize how insane it has been for humans to judge each other based on race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc. and how we have created prisons of bias in our culture and systems of belief.
