Chauvinisms

This morning, Sir Perry just delivered his second lecture in our Physics 10 class. It is a continuation of his lecture about ETI.

Now, from the Fermi question and Drake equation concept, there is another thought that arise: Chauvinism. To define, these are the biases of the answers we give about ETI. One good example of chauvinism arises from Terry Bisson's They're Made Out Of Meat, which you can check on http://baetzler.de/humor/meat_beings.html.

To go short, there is only one lesson we can learn out of these Chauvinisms. From time to time, anyone is bias. Nothing is so objective as you look at it. Everyone just judges in his own way, and that is why these Chauvinisms arise. For example, we may see that Mars, Titan, and Europa are truly candidates of life out there. However, there really may be others out there and see that those are not.

So, from now on, be careful on saying to anyone that he is bias. Because you, on your own way, are bias too.
