Edited by: Louis deGuerre on 05/05/2010 11:34:48 SETI is awesome and link is epic find. Ran their software for years. I'll install the client at my work pc right away, it's always on anyway. Sol: A microwarp drive? In a battleship? Are you insane? They arenÆt built for this! Clear Skies - The Movie

Running SETI software while afk, searching for EVE? Wouldn't that count as running a macro?
Where's Monkeysphere when you need him?

You were warned!
The average alien might just have the mindset of the average EVE player!
He suggests that aliens might simply raid Earth for its resources and then move on: ôWe only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldnÆt want to meet."

Nice article :)
So long as we don't engage in METI (Messaging to Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) which even Stephen Hawking strongly advised against as you never know what could end up discovering us. Being enslaved by Amarr irl or assimilated by Borg isn't my idea of a fun time ^_^
The fact that Stephen Hawking is afraid of sending our personal info and location out in the blue has to do with the Fermi Paradox, the problem that the estimated probability of ET life in our galaxy isn't backed up by observations ('we can't hear them transmitting stuff while we should'. And one of the many solutions for the paradox is that there might be a cosmical predator civilizations that destroys every other world that 'speaks out' and that every smart world out there is keeping a low profile.
And also because IF there is ETI life, chances are that they are at a much more advanced stage than we are. (Relatively spoken we just climbed out of the trees and compare the stage of our technological advancement now with that of a few hundred years ago and try to imagine what the tech of a civilization with a few thousand years head-start on us might look like). Help us to make parrots game related today! |

Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror. - Ming the Merciless

That is very militaristic point of view. It's the point of view where you think other races or nations are thinking the same way you are, which is, I'm sorry to say, a little bit racist. Without going further into politics, which is (I think) prohibited on this forum, I'll just say that there are many people that think different - pacifists, for example - and there are many nations on our own planet that are peaceful. They are raised to be peaceful and the whole cultures are based on that ideology.
I know, there is a possibility to encounter some conquerors, but you can't rule out the possibility that we may meet a peaceful race. "Always look at the bright side of life."

Think I might re-install SETI@home because of this. ________________________

Don't shoot the messenger (pun not intended). But I see what you mean. On the other hand ... one could reason that if: a. all intelligent life derived from the mechanics of an evolutionary process, then: b. all intelligent species are products of struggle and survival of the fittest which means that they are: c. competitive in nature and will choose to serve themselves first in a conflict of interest
The fact that we are evolutionary 'built to last' as a species, proclaims that we are also 'built for the kill'; we will do anything to preserve the existence of our species. We only have ourselves as a referral but sadly we have no reason to believe that this would be otherwise in other intelligent species.
It's harder to predict how artificial extraterrestrial life will behave though. Guys like Ray Kurtzweil believe that the fate of advanced biologic life lies in a technological singularity and reason that we will be followed up by artificial intelligence which we will create ourselves.

Another solution to Fermi's Paradox might simply be the environments aliens evolve in. Looking at the possible environments just for carbon-based life yields a whole host of options where fire is impossible or surface metals rare (like a world where chlorine is part of some life process, even as a defense - HCl rains, anyone?). That includes aquatic and airborne life, as well; imagine what dolphins might develop into intelligence-wise, and yet could do little technology-wise because they lack manipulators.
It may be that the nearest civilization capable of developing technology is so far away that we will never contact them without one of us managing to develop faster-than-light travel (if it is even possible).
