Is our search for intelligent life out there a need to discover them, or a need to be discovered? We always expect an evolved alien race to deem us worthy enough of their time and knowledge. Which is why I ask, is our search stemming from basic human curiosity or a desperate need to find someone who can give us all the answers? Someone who can explain the absurdity and futility of life and the universe. A species that has done all the dirty work, arrived at the right conclusions, figured it all out and can explain all that we can't.
Well, what if whatever's out there is just as smart as us, as confused as us? What if it's going to ask the same things that we will? And god forbid, have us answer our own questions. In which case, why don't we just start now. So the next time we wake up, stand in front of the mirror on a cold Monday morning and question our existence, let's have an answer.
