| Personal background |
|---|
I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania, as narrow-minded a place as you can imagine.
I'm now 29 years old (and will be, perpetually, regardless of my next birthday), and male (perpetually as well haha), and single. Single and enjoying it, but getting older and almost tired of it.
I work in a dead-end job in a cubicle surrounded by a bunch of idiots. And I go to Marywood University part-time. I'll graduate someday, hopefully.
I like music, and I play guitar and whatever other musical instrument I can get my hands on. I like video games, too--I recently got into The Sims. I'm trying to write a novel, but time is something I don't have a lot of (between studying and The Sims haha). I also binge-drink on the weekends, to try and forget about the workaday week, and have some fun. By now, you've probably realized there's really not much interesting to do where I live, so I have to find ways of entertaining myself.
I like to laugh a lot, at absurdity mostly. Dry humor (as you can probably tell) is my favorite.
Well, that's it, I guess. Have a nice day! :-) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I do think extraterrestrial life exists. I really don't have a clue when and how humans will discover it. There are so many possibilities: We could find a planet where sentient creatures once lived, but they died out, or destroyed themselves. Or, we could find a planet with the beginnings of life, but no intelligent life (as we know it). The universe is a big place haha. It may take a while. If we do meet intelligent beings, I don't think most of the people in the world are ready for it. We still have a lot of narrow-minded people living on earth. However, contact could put us in perspective (our petty hatreds and concerns and megalomania), and we may just decide to "get along"... or not. I don't know yet.
Aren't we transmitting a beacon already? Or am I thinking of one of the Voyager missions, with the recording in it? Well, I don't know. I think we should give them our location, and let them know we're [relatively] intelligent, and that we just want to share information. Maybe we can learn something from them.
I run SETI@home because I want to help, even if it's a little bit, in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and I want to be involved. |
