I'm a philosopher, socially engaged in social and workers movement.
But I'm also a geek, running linux and reading/viewing SF books/movie.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I participate to seti@home just because finding proofs of ET intelligence would be one of the greatest thing that Humanity could do. And I'm part of it (humanity and seti ;)).
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
