Currently a student at Temescal Canyon High School in Lake Elsinore, California. I enjoy writing, web development, chemistry and server administration. It depends what time your seeing this but im 15 with my 16th birthday on October 3rd 2002. Email me if you wish.
SETI@home cut off my 504 word thoughts, so the first, and longest paragraph is below, followed by another 2 in the proper location:
I feel that extraterrestrial life does exist, but its intelligence and its sophistication I have my doubts about. I think that if we do find intelligent extraterrestrial life that it will be far more advanced than us. If you consider all of the flaws of our society, and the eradication of natural selection and the role of evolution, specifically how diminished it is, you could deduce that for the amount of time we have been here in the approximate form we are that we are relatively un-advanced, leading me to believe that everything out there is more advanced, saying it is intelligent. I don’t think we will find life for a while, but I also do not think that we will be around much longer considering the unrest in nuclear arm bearing countries and the hostilities thereof. Saying that social unrest were to not eradicate us then it could be speculated that we will eradicate ourselves by polluting our planet and by disrupting the natural processes that allow for life. Leading me to believe that if we were to find any extraterrestrial life and contact it that upon learning of our history that it would laugh at how unfortunate we are. I do not think that it would express interest in us. I feel that if we are so fortunate as to not eradicate ourselves that we will not be able to live here for much longer, and that I will not have grandchildren on this planet.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think that we will end eventually so if we were to exasperatingly attempt to contact ET and broadcast messages into the cosmos that it would be beneficial, hopefully if they are developing life forms they can learn from our numerous mistakes. I think that we should only transmit a form of hello because the rest of our culture, and the cultures of the world have some aspects that could be shown or alluded to that would alienate these life forms, pardon the term. I think that if we were to allude to cultures and such that the Japanese culture would be best to broadcast; these cultures reflect well on us, even though they do not characterize the American cultures well. If we were to broadcast shows such as "Jerry Springer" or some form of MTV we could be viewed as a planet of turmoil, hostilities and infidelity, leading the ET to believe that contact with us would be futile and disruptive to their ways of life. If we were to broadcast some form of PBS they might perceive our knowledge and moderate organization as a threat, and work to eliminate it. They would most likely perceive us as parasitic, which accurately fits the treatment of other people and our natural resources.
I run SETI@home for personal reasons because I feel a sort of debt to people to aide in the search for ET, I also feel a strong curiosity to know whom I am looking up at when I look up on a bright starlit night. |
