¨¨@¨¨@¨@¨@ 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) ¨¨@¨¨@¨@¨@
