If Super Mario wants to find other Super Marios he'd be well advised not
to search within his own instance of Super Mario Land. SETI would be
much cheaper and much more successful if they meditated instead of
collecting Exabytes worth of white noise.
The shortest distance between you and any extraterrestrial is not a
vector in space-time but a "jump" instruction (~conscious intent) in the
data structure of consciousnesses.
Or to quote Ben himself ...

Individual human minds have an aspect that is "nonlocal", in the sense
of not being restricted to exist within the flow of our time-axis, in
the same sense that our bodies are generally restricted.
Due to this non-localized aspect, it’s possible for human minds that are
evidently grounded in bodies in a certain spacetime region, to manifest
themselves in various ways outside this spacetime region – thus
sometimes generating phenomena we now think of as “paranormal”.
This non-localized aspect of human minds probably results from the same
fundamental aspects of the universe that enable psi phenomena like ESP,
precognition, and psychokinesis.

To the best of my knowledge, SETI hasn't found jack fucking shit at this
