  • I think that the great filter/fermi paradox is a combination of two facts,

    1. Our entire radio output (the only example we have to go by) is pitiful compared to the sun, like a candle in front of a flood light, you’ll only be able to see it so far before it’s completely drowned out. After a few dozen light years our radio output is less than the margin of error of a stars detectable radio output.
    2. As a civilization advances it must reduce radio leakage. As data gets more important, it gets more important that you’re not wasting energy moving it around. Narrow beamed radio transmission becomes the norm and even less radio signals escape the system than when radio was messy and overpowered.

    They’re not missing or gone, they’ve just moved beyond messy radio signals. Even we tightened up our radio emissions in a little over a century. Most of what we watch or listen to comes to us via fiber, cable, or short range transmissions like cell phone towers and Wi-Fi.


















  • Don’t ever take a phone to a protest. They WILL use location data against you if your phone is on, Even if it’s off and you happen to lose it, they’ll use the fact that it was found at the scene against you.
    If You’re going to protest, then protest. If I see you standing around taking pictures and videos with your phone I’m going to assume you’re just in it for your Instagram posts.

    Edit:
    And if you’re not careful when taking videos or pictures at a protest you could expose other protesters and your footage could be used to prosecute people that were there trying to help.
    If you absolutely INSIST on documenting the protests, procure a used GoPro off of eBay or Facebook marketplace that isn’t registered to you and use that.
