yeah. i love the drake equation.
to me, it instantly answered the question "are we alone" beyond all doubt.
even more so when i heard of how abundant bio matter is in the universe. HUUUUUUGE clouds of sugar, alcohol and many a plethora of other organic like stuff just floating around out there.
i bet space slugs are real.
i mean, the drake equation is imperfect, and hangs on a few assumptions, but
more often than not*, the custom refinements you could attempt to make, actually increase the amount of intelligent life out there.
and there are many ways to skin a drake [equation]. hehe.
like the most BLINDINGLY obvious one..........
all is life.
consciousness is all pervasive.
call it a concept (or "fact") and take it or leave it as you please.
*or could that just be a by-product of the folks likely to be so interested are so interested because some small part of them wants there to be more life out there, and so whether subconsciously or intentionally, the results are skewed in that direction? it should at least be considered [if i'm to make such claims].
