,£££,,,£,, ,,£,,,,£,,
,£,££,,,£, 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) ,,,£,,,£££
