¨&¨¨¨&&&&¨ on earth (the planet where i live) a ¨&¨¨¨&&&¨¨
&&¨¨&¨¨¨&& lot of us have antennas on our houses &&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨
¨&¨&&¨¨&¨¨ or balconies, we have built large ¨&¨&&¨&&¨&
&&&¨&¨&&¨& antennas for larger bandwith, we have &&&¨&&¨&&&
¨¨&&&&¨&&& build specialized antennaes for ¨¨&&¨&&¨¨¨
¨&¨¨¨&&¨¨¨ specific wavelengths (and sent them ¨&¨&&¨&¨¨¨
&&¨¨&¨&¨¨¨ into orbit), we've built large as fuck &&&¨&&&¨¨¨
¨&¨&&&&¨¨¨ antenna arrays ¨¨&&¨¨&¨¨&
&&&¨¨¨&¨¨¨ we've virtually built an antenna with a ¨&¨&¨&&¨&&
¨¨&¨¨&&¨¨& dish as large as earth. &&&&&¨&&¨¨
¨&&¨&¨&¨&& ¨¨¨¨&&¨&¨¨
&¨&&&&&&¨& we've learned about our position in the ¨¨¨&¨&&&¨¨
&&¨¨¨¨¨&&& solar system, our solar systems ¨¨&&&¨¨&¨&
¨&¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨ placement in the galaxy, and our ¨&¨¨&¨&&&¨
&&¨¨¨&&¨¨& galaxys placement in the local cluster, &&¨&&&¨¨&¨
¨&¨¨&¨&¨&¨ and ~our~ local clusters place in the ¨&&¨¨&¨&&&
&&¨&&&&&&& grand scheme of things &¨&¨&&&¨¨&
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ &&&&¨¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ and we're moving around the sun at ¨¨¨&¨&&&&¨
&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ velocity and the suns moving around the ¨¨&&&¨¨¨&&
¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ center of the galaxy at velocity and ¨&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨& the galaxy is moving toward andromeda &&¨&&¨&&¨¨
&¨&¨¨¨¨¨&¨ and we're both moving anticlockwise ¨&&¨&&¨&¨¨
&&&¨¨¨¨&&¨ around the galaxy. and we as a species &¨&&¨&&&¨&
¨¨&¨¨¨&¨&¨ have learned to take all that in account &&¨&&¨¨&&¨
¨&&¨¨&&&&& ¨&&¨&¨&¨&¨
&¨&¨&¨¨¨¨& and despite all this, despite all our &¨&&&&&&&¨
&&&&&¨¨¨&¨ (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar &&¨¨¨¨¨¨&&
¨¨¨¨&¨¨&&& radio programmes out in fucking space ¨&¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨
¨¨¨&&¨&¨¨& at the speed of light (light is our &&¨¨¨¨&&¨¨
¨¨&¨&&&¨&& medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), ¨&¨¨¨&¨&¨¨
¨&&&¨¨&&¨¨ despite ghosts helping and the &&¨¨&&&&¨¨
&¨¨&¨&¨&¨¨ collective consciousness lowpass ¨&¨&¨¨¨&¨¨
&¨&&&&&&¨¨ filtering, despite our very obvious &&&&¨¨&&¨&
&&¨¨¨¨¨&¨& beaming of all our secrets in every ¨¨¨&¨&¨&&¨
¨&¨¨¨¨&&&& direction known to us, ¨¨&&&&&¨&&
&&¨¨¨&¨¨¨& ¨&¨¨¨¨&&¨&

&¨¨¨&¨&&&¨ &¨&¨¨&¨&&&
&¨¨&&&¨¨&¨ so why is that? &&&¨&&&¨¨¨
&¨&¨¨&¨&&& ¨¨&&¨¨&¨¨&
&&&¨&&&¨¨& most opponents to intelligent life in ¨&¨&¨&&¨&¨
¨¨&&¨¨&¨&& the universe say it's because you need &&&&&¨&&&&
¨&¨&¨&&&¨¨ a class one-or-the-other star and the ¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨&
&&&&&¨¨&¨¨ planet needs to be at a see-and-so ¨¨¨&¨&¨¨&&
¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨& distance away from the star (like there ¨¨&&&&¨&¨¨
¨¨¨&&&¨&&& has to be a planet!) ¨&¨¨¨&&&¨¨
¨¨&¨¨&&¨¨& &&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨
¨&&¨&¨&¨&& but really isn't that keeping the ¨&¨&&¨&&¨¨
&¨&&&&&&¨& definition of life really lax? &&&¨&&¨&¨¨
&&¨¨¨¨¨&&¨ ¨¨&&¨&&&¨&
¨&¨¨¨¨&¨&¨ i think everyone agrees that we have no ¨&¨&&¨¨&&¨
&&¨¨¨&&&&¨ idea what we're doing (and it probably &&&¨&¨&¨&¨
¨&¨¨&¨¨¨&¨ shows) ¨¨&&&&&&&&
