¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨& 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) &¨¨&&&&&¨&
