..~~\*£§## 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 ###§£*\~~.

.~~\*£§### 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 ###§£*\~~.

.~~\*£§### shows) ###§£*\~~.
