RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Anyone out there?...)
Do you think there is life outside of Earth?
Yes, certainly, although not necessarily intelligent. It doesn't take that much to shape up some microbes afterall.
Now to the more obvious side of the question... Entirely unsure. I believe in simulism, so it would be up to the creator's whim and it could change at any given time.
Do you think it is a good idea to be actively trying to contact aliens?
Hell yes. I'm all for human erradication. Whatever happens will certainly be benevolent. Either enlightening us or destroying us completely are great consequences.
Well... it does take a little bit of time, and some good luck! Simulism... it's an enticing idea, but at the moment... I do think it is a bit of a philosophical cop out, it's a bit tricky to prove/disprove without a jarring disjunct. OF course, it would be pretty interesting if it were true!
You can't currently prove or disprove it. But it makes a lot more sense than anything else. There are two things in favor of it:
The double slit experiment

Pure logic

Yes... I've seen most of those arguments... I think that they all still assume a bit and there isn't a clear logical step. The physics one is less convincing to me (it is also an old and known result), from the point of view of someone who studied Theoretical Physics, it looks to be a misunderstanding of the paper.
However... all of that aside, there isn't anything to doesn't say that it could be... just no conclusive hints that it is!
