If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Currently in catch-up hell, but me too! My ability to succeed in a workplace depends very much on the extent to which I must interact with others. The longer I spend in a group, the greater the probability that I'll say something like: "Can we change the subject from your child's/cat's/football tea...

While PZ's article is a shot at a very easy target, and a superficial and sloppy one at that, I personally don't think that the Fermi paradox is a big deal, for many reasons. The first is that life is probably rather rare in the universe, and intelligent life even more so. True, there are many gala...

But over time they will have to decide if they can "live with it", i.e. either see how they were wrong or pretend that it wasn't that worse after all, or the rifts become actual islands that have little to do with each other.
