Profile: Damien

Personal background
My name is Damien Drobinski, I am 24 years old, and live in central Connecticut. I work for a small Environmental Testing Laboratory in Stratford, CT in the GCMS department. I have a degree in Biology, specializing in Environmental Science, and a minor in Chemistry. I enjoy martial arts, mountain biking, spirituality, remote control cars, trucks and planes and building computers, as well as playing on them.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I firmly believe that life exists outside of our own world. It would be a huge waste of space otherwise. I think humans will discover it when the extra terrestrials decide to reveal themselves to us. I don't think the majority of us are really ready to meet them. A person is smart, people as a whole are a narrow minded creature, and has a hard time accepting things outside of the "norm" we've grown accustomed to. Obviously a great benefit is that we could share technology, and broaden our horizons, as well as gain a friend. But I worry about the inherant dangers that come woth this new found knowledge. It is just a matter of time until someone decides they want to use what they know to suppress another. If we do send a beacon, let's not send technology. We have to assume that we are limited compared to our galactic brethren, but rather, let us send them information like our history, and art and our music, and let them draw their own conclusion about us. I have high hopes for the SETI project, and I am proud to be a part of the largest computer network on the planet. I run it because someday I really hope to see the world make first contact,.... if it hasn't been made already ;)
