| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| The SETI@home project is something REAL and worthwhile. Without putting forth really any effort, you are contributing to the scientific community and, however small the potential, to the advancement of the human race in the event this project leads to 1st contact. In addition, this project does the very thing that has made the human species so successful: with division of labor and compartmentalization of skills/knowledge/etc, and by working together we have achieved an existence in which we are able to leave our caves and mud huts and hunter-gatherer/farmer lifestyles (if we so desire) and are able to make and drive cars and buy food at a store and not die from infections and travel halfway around the world in mere hours without a significant chance of death and send people into space. And maybe, just maybe, by following our own example, we will lead ourselves into an entirely new paradigm of existence, one in which we KNOW, without doubt, we are indeed not alone in this great and infinite cosmos. Is there a good reason not to participate in this project? |
