#@#&§†~.¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨.~†§&

†~.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ despite ghosts helping and the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.~†
~.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ collective consciousness lowpass ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.~
.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ filtering, despite our very obvious ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ beaming of all our secrets in every ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ direction known to us, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

†~.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨.~†§&#

#@#&§†~.¨¨ has to be a planet!) ¨¨.~†§&#@#
##@#&§†~.¨ ¨.~†§&#@##
#@#&§†~.¨¨ but really isn't that keeping the ¨¨.~†§&#@#

#&§†~.¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨.~†§&#
&§†~.¨¨¨¨¨ i think everyone agrees that we have no ¨¨¨¨¨.~†§&
