Default Re: Type 1 Civilization?

I simply point to him saying "He says foolish things all the time" and "I agree with what he said" and don't see any need to address any further.

On topic: What do you mean "who needs evidence for that"? Anybody who wants to be reasonable or logical about anything needs evidence for that. Saying "We're not special, therefore there must be other life, therefore it must be more advanced than us" doesn't form from any kind of logic. The response to those claims is "says who?" says you? What makes you so sure?

Actually, Reach, you mean statements like this? "The human brain fails because it is also constantly forgetting information (or at least neural paths weaken to the point where you cannot retrieve the information anymore). You may be able to keep stuffing things into it, but unlike a computer that will never magically lose files, your brain certainly will."
