...of course, you weren’t because your computer was looking for non-existent signals...
The existence of ET signals is an open qustion. SETI is a fully legitimate organization ran according to a well thought out plan for collecting data to help answer this question.
Right on, but just so you know, other (highly informed) people think that we may find a signal by 2027, so there you go. For an excellent short article (explaining this prediction), see here.
I don’t think the author deals with the Fermi paradox very well, and the paradox is basically my reason for assigning a low probability to SETI finding something.
The Fermi paradox also struck me as a big issue when I first looked into these ideas, but now it doesn’t bother me so much. Maybe this should be the subject of another open thread.

I think the probability they ever find what they’re looking for is extraordinarily low. But I don’t have anything against the organization.
