fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 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,          
                                          
 no       one      has        answered

              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)

 i'm  gonna  go smoke my third  cigarette 
 this  year and try  to snatch some beers 
        from the local beer thing
