* Next, a branch must be made for whether or not ET has already a terrestrial presence which I assume negatively but I don't assume that communications haven't been ongoing or that local material evolution might not have been shaped and the later in particular with fine tuning as required by ... | * Next, a branch must be made for whether or not ET has already a terrestrial presence which I assume negatively but I don't assume that communications haven't been ongoing or that local material evolution might not have been shaped and the later in particular with fine tuning as required by ... | ||
* The METI issue is of a piece with the unification of language on a world such as the Earth, communication with the cosmopolitan culture, and the means by which this occurs, assumed to be direct mental connection between species capable of at least transcieving via individuals selected and/or selectively bred for this purpose (the explanation for the development of the language faculty generally). | * The METI issue is of a piece with the unification of language on a world such as the Earth, communication with the cosmopolitan culture, and the means by which this occurs, assumed to be direct mental connection between species capable of at least transcieving via individuals selected and/or selectively bred for this purpose (the explanation for the development of the language faculty generally). |
