| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Well, it's a mixed bag, isn't it? The more likely it seems that slime mold and slugs have existed/exist/will exist "everywhere", the more we realize the universe is harsh to the evolution of higher life forms.
There are technological limitations and physical laws and the two place very different constraints. Right now, the wiggle room on getting by the speed limit isn't looking good for meeting up with ET any time soon. So, if anything, that makes the SETI attempt that much more important even if we aren't sure of the best thing to look for or where the best place to look for it is.
But that also means positive results are all benefit unless we can't handle a technology we inherit. The distances make it unlikely an alien species would get adequate gratification of biological spread to send terraforming and colonizing fleets on a thousand year campaign.
So let's go for it and keep SETI running. They're out there somewhere.
