That’s a great piece. Thanks for sharing.

The fact that most of our signals for extra-terrestrial life are based on life on earth has always made me concerned we’d miss something. This has made me reconsider a little. We would miss life unlike earth’s with our approach, but without an analogy like this to draw on, how could we know?

Look, you can be right, you can stick it to everyone you want. It’s your call. But I know enough lonely people who took every opportunity to jump down peoples throats.

Sigh
Way to win someone over to your cause. You had a sympathetic ear there and you wasted it.

I’m with you, but it’s harder for more modern buildings.

One I’ve gone past a few times.

Rather than looking it as shifting the blame, could you not see it as another way in which you can make an impact?

We are where we are and we collectively need to reduce our environmental impact. Being conscious of what you eat is one way to do that, if you want to help.

There are more about an order of magnitude more people discussing those functions on the internet then there are practically using them.
