The news media loves studies that come up with unexpected conclusions like eating a little chocolate is actually good for you, a before-dinner glass of wine might help your overall health or there are at least 36 intelligent civilizations in our galaxy.
A group of scientists at the University of Nottingham – Robin Hood’s alma mater – did the math and that’s what they came up with.
Believe it or don’t, that’s up to you.
But when I read the story, I couldn’t help but think about all the crazy shit we’ve got going on here on Earth. I started to make a list and then realized it was going to be way too long, couldn’t figure out where to stop and then thought anyone who’s been paying attention has a list of their own.
(BTW: Just in case you’re wondering, “Boogalooers” are right-wing nutjobs who have been infiltrating peaceful protests and inciting violence to bring on a new Civil War or or the Zombie Apocalypse or the Hunger Games with AR-15s or whatever it is they want and apparently even they can’t agree on what that is.)
Bottom line: if there really are 36 intelligent civilizations in our galaxy, when will we make it 37?
Stay safe, everybody.
Welcome to scientism. I’ll send you Doug Casey’s article regarding same.
