Just a random story on a bored sunday
About a week later I started seeing reports that Taylor Swift was a psyop, which I thought was hilarious given that earlier conversation, but don't believe for a minute.
Somehow, this makes perfect sense.

The only rational, safe, approach is silent observation of the universe for now, at least the best we can, until we have more data, but they give the rest of us the finger and just start blasting signals into the void. It's borderline evil. There's numerous groups, not individuals, who actively plan on blasting out really powerful signals in the near future and they don't care what the rest of us think.
But with a bit of imagination the potential space of intelligent life is much larger than just "displaying human-like agressive traits".
That is: if you’re in a forest that’s dead silent, and you’re wondering where all the animals are, it might not be a good idea to start shouting.
