In any meeting with an alien race that can get to Earth we know that they are more technologically advanced than us (because we can’t get there). In our history, at least, the race / country with the least technology has gotten demolished with almost perfect certainty. We are on the wrong side of that equation right now.

The prudent thing to do with space is not announce our existence.

Decoded message:

"See, you idiots on Earth? One of each, not two of the same kind! Sheesh, don't make us have to come over there!"

Please don't tell me the Kardashians are out there too. There seems to be no escaping them!

Men are from Mars
Women are from Venus
But Kim Kardashian I believe is from...HUranus

It’s been about 71 years since our first nuclear explosion, so they probably won’t get that message from us for another two decades.

I think it’s entirely possible signals from an intelligent origin have been being emitted throughout the universe. I would think just because we have yet to detect any, means little. I not saying that is what this is, I’m just sayin.

possibility of a civilization far more advanced than our own.

That wouldn't take much...

Seriously, I would hope to shout there are 'people' out there advanced to the point of sanity...meaning, no DemRats ;)

Where's Quix...? He usually eats these things.

Not recently, mm. He read that aliens were high on cholestarol.
