What do you think about METI (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), the ‘proactive SETI?’
David Brinn doesn’t like it, I take it there were a lot of scientists that quit their SETI connections when their arguments against it were ignored. I guess they have formed a SET dissidents group over it.

It's only my opinion, but I think listening and transmitting are a waste of time.
First off, I don't believe our civilization has the technology to receive or broadcast on the kinds of frequencies that interstellar travelers would use.
Secondly, what fool would intentionally broadcast their coordinates when they don't know who's listening? Only a pointy headed liberal wouldn't stop to think that maybe - just maybe, an advanced predator race might pick up their broadcast.
