Profile: Captain Kirk (WCT#787)

Personal background
I´m a 39 year old Trekker, got bitten by that bug -76 when Swedish TV finally sent TOS. I work at a rehabilitation center for alcoholics where we mainly use behavioural methods to achieve a change in their lives. My main hobbies are Star Trek, playwriting, amatuer acting on the stage presenting my own material which has been rewarded in a script contest for new Swedish drama.
I also write for the company newspaper and have a magazine of my own.
I dream of getting a script accepted for Star Trek and continously produce material which I often rewrite until I´m satisfied which often is never.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I´m convinced that we are not alone in the universe, even the thought of us being alone in this wast universe is unthinkable. When and how we´ll discover extraterrestrial life will probably be when we´ve managed to set aside our differences as a race and realize there is only one earth and one kind of people, earthlings.

The benefits of the discovery will be that many religions that have stated us to be a mythical god´s only creation will be completely wrong and maybe then they´ll finally give in to the only true religion, science. It would be so nice with a planet full of scientifically interested agnostics, don´t you think?
I don´t think it will affect society that much finding other intelligence because we are getting quite use to the idea of extraterrestrials from books, movies and TV. We know they are out there, but where?

Of course we should place a beacon, but what to transmit? That we are a race of superstitious lunatics killing each other over religious beliefs and ideas? Please, we´ll have to wait until we have united the planet and discarded the idea of omnipotential gods so we won´t be regarded as the universal retards number one.

I run SETI@home because I support science and really would like to make a contribution to find other lifeforms, this is a great way of doing it.
I think it´s a shame that every governement in the world doesn´t supports this, for humanity, so important project. It is our duty to search for intelligent life in the universe because we have so little of it on earth. Being human doesn´t necesserily mean that you act like one. I think the SETI project is finally going where no man has gone before. Live long and prosper.
