,,#,,,,#,, 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 ,,###,,,#,

,,#,##,,,# 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) ,,,,,,,#,,
