nagashWed, Oct 21, 2009 I'm pretty convinced there are "billions and billions" of alien civilizations out there, both more primitive and more advanced than we are right now. but I think the whole idea of aliens physically visiting us, or finding aliens ourselves, is extremely unlikely to happen! I don't say impossible, but you need such a number of convergences to allow it to take place... it's like winning the lottery.
but even if I'm not buying tickets for the flying saucer show, doesn't mean I don't think we can't contact "alien" intelligence. In fact, as Infinitas said, Buddhists have been psychonauts for millennia, and developed a series of smooth techniques and traditions around it.
so, humanity looks Isolated right now, but things are escalating faster and faster.
sooner or later, our monkey may hit the light switch and find out that we are right in the middle of the party :)
