If somebody doesn’t realize there’s “unknown unknowns” then I question their leadership.

It never ceases to amaze me, how much we learn in such a short amount of time. More than a decade ago, Man thought Al Gore knew everything. Science, Politics and Political Science have all moved from his 2nd Chakra releases and monotone dialogue of poor World Wide Climate & Weather predictions.

Read the Three Body Problem trilogy. Pay close attention while reading Dark Forest.

cgbg's Law:
No advanced alien race capable of radio signals would be stupid enough to release them into space--since that would identify their location to potentially hostile outsiders.
Corollary of cgbg's law:
By definition the human race is _not_ an advanced race.
Second Corollary of cgbg's law: Anyone seeking to use government funds to search for these alien radio signals is a con artist and should be locked up with their toys.

The second one is a great movie. The first one was a good theme-park attraction.

Let’s just say that the last two aren’t of the caliber of the first two.
Clarke’s strong point was making the near-future seem both tangible and fantastic. Writing of alien races, or of humans so advanced that they might as well be aliens, deprives him of this powerhouse. His creativity and expertise become like the power of a truck in a swamp.

I certainly remembered it much more from the second one. I guess what fooled me was its use in the book, and the way the second movie placed it in the context of the first movie.

If 3, why do we always assume the other guy is super-advanced? Seems evolution would be more likely to be parallel. Not that I believe anyone’s out there.
