Or in fact, I think it's a sign of arrogance to imagine that the aliens care much about us because if they ever find it, they are far more advanced.

And it's just like, you know, it's really ridiculous for humanity to brag about our accomplishments.

The Beatles are three chords.

That's all it is.

Nothing to it.

There is an image of a man and a woman and as if they care much about it.

I would much rather send some spacecraft to learn about them because it's just like Darwin's principle of the fittest survives for natural selection.

obviously there are lots of mediocre aliens out there and many of them live on trees in jungles and you know they didn't make it yet to technology and in order for us to meet them we have to visit their place and start sorting through the trees you know like

That's a lot of work.

It takes a long time to go from planet to planet and search the bushes and the trees.

On the other hand, you can just stay where you are and wait for someone to reach you.

These are the most accomplished ones.

These are the ones we want to imitate.

These are the dating partners that we can meet if we aim high rather than low and without any effort.

so these are the ones scoring on the on the curve these are these are the ones getting the real a's these are the ones that are at the top of the food chain not us and we should learn from them and it would inspire us and then maybe they don't exist but let's first invest the billions of dollars in searching for them before concluding anything

And, you know, in my view, this would be the most inspiring discovery.

And I have a lot of artists that are approaching me.

They appreciate it.

I got two bronze sculptures of Galileo Galilei from Greg Wyatt, the sculptor, and 51 watercolors from him.
