    I think that space is just so vast and so empty that the wisest thing to do is stay in your own system and keep quiet. And then you just watch the hyper-aggressives and space Mormons wipe each other out.

      Too late. Rich assholes have already blasted out signals with everything needed to locate us.

      The 4 probes that will leave our solar system all have records and plaques telling them how to find us, too.

        I’m not saying we did the right thing ourselves. We rarely do. I’m just hoping that the hyper-aggressives and space Mormons that aren’t us are really far away.
