"It Is Hard To See How Any Other Outcome Is Possible� — The Platonism Of S.E.T.I. - Skunkworks Blog

Whenever folks are talking about the science and technology behind SETI, first contact, and disclosure, they're really talking about philosophy. Such is the crÅ­ of Bryan Sentes's latest essay upon puny earthlings expounding upon what may be out there and how you-know-who reached those lofty heights, not to mention how that idealized vision is erroneously colored by anthropocentric hubris. Cited by Bryan is Avi Loeb, no stranger to fortean and anomalistic headlines. If he is to you, Avi's the Harvard Professor Thinks Alien Technology Is Humanity's Fast Ticket To The Future. According to Paul Seaburn's analysis, Loeb's not saying anything particularly new by playing off the tropes surrounding Roswell 1947 with a dash of those perennial "ancient aliens". If it were up to this editor at The Anomalist, let abandoned space hulks lie and be surprised at how humanity can pull itself up by their own bootstraps. (CS)
