| Personal background |

I'm an Applies Developemtal Psychology graduate student at the University of New Orleans. I'm a New Orleans native. I've been interested in the sky and the possibilities it holds since I was quite young, and I jumped at the chance to get a piece of the SETI action. I enjoy looking at the sky, especially when I'm camping. I like Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
music: postal service, 28 days later soundtrack, irish music, sigur ros, audioslave, rage against the machine, tool, enya, alkaline trio. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I'm along the lines of those who are apt to say that if we were the only ones out here, it'd be an aweful waste of space. I think we could discover it, but in my opinion, it will (or already has) discovered us. It would seem that if we discovered it, SETI would have to be how because I know of no other organizations that are looking.
We have all learned about what happens when civilizations that had been previously been separated come together; plagues, diseases, mass deaths. But that's on one end of the spectrum; on the other end are such things as technological/scientific discovery and enlightenment in more ways than one. I expect neither extreme; however, I would hope that neither species would die out in the event of our species meeting another ET species.
Yes, we should transmit. We should transmit our location, if that is possible, and some of the most basic facts about life on our planet: DNA, ATP, et cetera.
I run SETI@home because I feel I should do my part for the eventual or possible advancement of the world as we know it. And as a simple college student, this might be my only chance to "change the world."
