| Personal background |
|---|
I'm from the inland empire in Southern California. I'm 28 and work in retail. Although my career aspirations have been disappointing, I have always had a huge interest in scientific knowledge and advancement, especially when it comes to the Cosmos and the potential for the limitless amount of unknowns still prodding us from the depths of space.
I would have to consider my time consuming hobbies slightly out of the mainstream spectrum but these days not too much remains in those realms. PC/Console gaming, science fiction/fantasy/political/philisophical novels, celestia searching, and the occasional model building are my hobbies. My interest in automobiles has waned over the years, though it still remains due to my past brief career in repairing them.
I'd consider myself a homebody over going out; as I prefer to spend my time in the company of my home and access to information through the various electronic devices we now take for granted these days, and not within the oxymoronic expansive shallowness of my local areas human population. I'd be kidding myself if I didn't indicate I'm probably selling my self short of the potential for like-mindedness out there, but it feels like I have to cross an ocean to find the mainland from the isolated island I'm on and I'm not willing to build a raft so to speak. Borderline mis-anthropic might describe me, as well as cynical, analytical, and sarcastic. While I'd consider myself a pessimist, it's only because I'm an optimist that's tired of being disappointed because I romanticize reality perhaps too much? In anycase, this is me. |

While I could go on a rant on my soap box about a myriad of "what-if's", the current unknowns and how mainstream science de-bunks most but shuns the un-explainable and ignores un-identified, and the theories on EBE communication and the SETI mainstream program as a whole, and whether or not they'd actually release this information if it really resulted in finding an artificial signal or whether the government or SETI would put a clamp on it (there's that damn cynic in me), the foolhardy optimist in me says why the hell not attempt to help?
While yes, far advanced civilizations could be using something we're not attempting to detect or even could for that matter, our television/radio waves are still travelling from the moment we started to broadcast them, and that means civilizations out there that may or may not be far in advance more than likely started out broadcasting their signals as well. Those are the signals I'm thinking we'll end up detecting. |
