The Anti-Drake
Here's a bit of an update on the “Anti-Drake-Equation”
argument and one for zealots to run through the streets with. I , personally
get so caught up in “fact, life is abundant in the Universe” mentality that I
never stop to think about how ominous it would be to suddenly know beyond the
shadow of a doubt, we are alone.
Billions of people look to the stars and try to imagine its
infinity and endless life-form variations these days (Sci-fi - TV, books and
movies becoming “fact”). A scientific discovery that reveals “we are it”, would
suddenly flip the world upside down. People would be running to their nearest
churches and the search for God would be back in full swing.
Is this announcement
a reminder that mankind is so far away from ever really knowing the truth? Where
are we really placing our hopes and time? Weren’t we warned to watch out monumental
distractions and endless lies? …But we are human, so maybe once in a while, our
“best and brightest” are “moved” to remind us of our place.
