We have yet to discover our own species, or what advances our own life. To seek life elsewhere feels like self extermination. I wonder what a species like ours hopes to find in other forms, if it does not see or even seek to see itself. Perhaps after the human race becomes aware of itself, & it’s existence, advanced life will seek us. The task is to find ourselves. Technology only applies to this search as it is our means of seeing what we can become.
