We have survived this long by some means so I assume that we will continue to do so into the future. I consider SETI as being limited in scope. How long does a civilization continue to use powerful radio signals to communicate? The fact that we have not detected any aliens so far suggests that there is a far better way to send information that we are not yet aware of. During the next century many advancements will come along and radio might look ancient and virtually useless for anything but remotes.

At present, the world looks so bizarre to me, I cannot satisfy my sense of logic otherwise - and if it isn't obvious already, the adventure of trying to confirm LENR in the minds of others tends to justify such an outlook IMHO. Saying that the human race - and its elite - are no more irrational than in the past is no comfort if technology could give anyone the power of a weapon of mass destruction. Worrying about assault rifles looks like small potatoes, over the long road. Thus, unless we gain the oversight of benevolent aliens or develop a mass psychic consciousness that protects us, the future looks more like Afghanistan. Do some say that SETI can't find aliens because they probably advanced far enough to blow themselves up?
