Inclusive Reconciliation

ON THE ONE HAND, there is a small but concerted effort within the scientific community, physicists, astronomers, to search for extraterrestrial life. On the other hand, there are several million people, or at least several hundred thousand, (in the united states alone) who insist that not only do extraterrestrial beings exist, but that they are here among us even now, observing, interacting, transmitting messages to a select few.

Among this latter group are many scientists, somewhat surprisingly.

But either way, the two groups tend to be unfriendly with each other, because they seem, on the surface, to be irrevocably irreconcilable. And, like politicians, they tend to spend their time finding ways to attack each other, rather than understanding each other.

The S.E.T.I. (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) project, now fifty years old and privately funded, is as grand and important as anything humanity has ever done. Ditto the mars rover "Curiosity", which is this very moment showing out our human cleverness.

But if you are absolutely convinced that beings from Sirius are telepathically communicating with you every day, giving you the recipe for human salvation, SETI and the Mars rover aren't all that exciting. Which is too bad. Your loss, oh channeler of Sirius.

Similarly, our skeptical, empirical scientifically methodized scientitific community, so valuable to human progress, discounts out of hand any idea at its own peril. Remember the gorilla. (it wasn't supposed to exist). Now we are on the verge of accepting the empirical reality of ghosts, after centuries of hysterical nonsense.

Why? Because we finally decided to calm down long enough to take a close, honest look - and we are amazed at what we are finding. Namely, ghosts. The question is, what are they? That, we still do not know. But, god willing and the creek don't rise, someday soon we might.

So let's all chip in and do what we can to support the telescopers, and the mars rover, as well as the good folks channeling folks from the star Sirius. They all have something to offer.
