He's apparently into probing; maybe he was potty trained
late.

BTW, you sometimes refer to this...entity?...as "John". Do
you know its purported name? It seems fixated on everyone as
sockpuppets of someone, possibly Harshman. Projection?

I am a sockpuppet of Harshman even if I argue with him over stuff. MPD. I
was an avatar of “howard hershey” but that stopped being trendy and the chicks jumped ship years ago, so I follow trends. Harshman is a seriously
hot commodity in the influencer space right now. The Kardashians may be
about ready to get their Harshman on soon as Kim explores the lucrative Cambrian fashion trends. Yet the gluteus maximus was not an initial
chordate feature.

Yeah, we're all sockpuppets to this moron, but I'm still
interested (vaguely) in who this entity is. Dunno why; it's
just another Usenet waste of oxygen, but whatthehell...

Yes you are. You're fucked up. You hijacked abandoned usenet handles
and try to fool yourself into believing you're not a goddamn idiot.

You use this "Bob" personality pretty much exclusively to pronounce
your superiority, something that could never be obvious, given your
level of discourse, so would need pronouncement...

Problem there is you lack any credibility.

There's a lot of ways a species might go extinct, even a technological
species. Collapsing a civilization is nothing. I mean, Egypt collapsed
three times in its own ancient history. History is littered with examples
of civilizations collapsing. So if civilizations are possible, and they
are, then a number far in excess of zero have attained a technological
level sufficient to send signals and/or technology only to collapse.

A smaller number, though still greater than zero, went extinct entirely.

Now add the thought that the earth has been virtually signaling the
universe for maybe 2 billion years already -- "THERE'S LIFE HERE!" --
and the numbers are starting to look big, even for rare events.

If a civilization noticed the biosignatures and sent a probe even
once every million years, thousands have been sent towards the earth.
If 1% went extinct in the time it took to travel here, that's 20. If some
0.1% went extinct, that's 2.

Start talking about collapses and you can multiply that number...

After Rome collapsed it took until about the 1600s before Europe
caught up on the glass making tech...

It's a-symmetrical, what is lost or forgotten, but the odds that no civilization has ever sent a signal or tech our way only to have
lost all knowledge of it, or even the ability to read their own
technology, are descending towards zero.

It's really just an issue of scale, while you're a spazz who only
cares about making a goddamn fool out of themselves.
