Let's put it that way.

But it's a typical example of seeing the universe through our own eyes.

And this is where the limitation is.

Understanding what's going on with complexity, as you said, and looking at the biophysical model and theories for the nature of life, I would agree that probably this extraterrestrial message is all around us.

We're not yet capable of picking it up.

Well, you know, a good example of that, and it doesn't need to be an extraterrestrial civilization, look at something that I really, you know, whether or not it's,

Real, I don't care because in terms of intellectual exercise, I think it's fantastic.

Look at the shadow biosphere.

The idea that life didn't appear only once on earth, but there were many different pathways of it.

And today we know when we study the tree of life that led to us, from Luca to us,

And the shadow biosphere is telling us that there is, or there are other pathways to

that came up at the time where life originated, but they are so different that we cannot recognize them as being living.

And we cannot pick them up in our test because our tests are being built to recognize life as we know it.

And for me, again, I don't know if this theory

will be verified or it would be discredited.

But what I like about it is that it forces me to think on how do I look for life?

I don't know.

So that starts here on our planet, not even with little green men.

It starts with very simple life that can be so different that it might be just right in front of our nose and we don't see it.

Yeah, I don't like the term bias because it involves some moral connotation.
