20130924 - Seth Shostak - Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)

[analog kid]

At night when I contemplate the galaxy, I've often thought that if they came here, observed us, they might think we are dangerous/crazy, and keep their distance.

If they're out there, listening to our transmissions, the first possible signal they'd get is Hitler's broadcasts at the Nuremburg rallies.

So said Carl Sagan, anyways.

guess a lot of people been on hold for 30 minutes, i must be 10-th in line

Sagan was the man.  You busted me, lol.  But, I think he was on to something there.  As in, they might see us as too dangerous to approach just yet.

Hi alllll new folks!

Hi sobering Cynnie lol

Do all American speak as fast as the small print guys on these commercials?

[Cynnie]

I wouldn't invite the majority of us in and would steer clear.  But if I had the capability, I'd privately contact good individuals and keep it low key until this spices did a lot more growing.   We are spirits living a human experience and will get there some day---I do believe.

I think to them we're like the beetles in my garden..they think that land is theirs ..and im just something that terrifies some of them from time to time but i couldn't tell you anything about the beetle except its icky

Also regarding Sirius radios... I bought a gorgeous Tivoli unit which I love very very much.  They were unfortunately discontinued a few years back but if you can snag one on ebay I cannot recommend them enough.  They did cost a fortune years ago and because of their rarity  they still do.  Can you tell I love my radio?

Only when we think we're alone with other Americans. Kinda like Eddie Murphy getting on a buss in white face.
