It is a little silly, purely because (as hawking said himself) the we've no clue what may be out there.

To be honest with you though, we've sent a shit tone of radio broadcasts into space the last hundred years, if there's an advanced race out there and they want to find us, they will already have a lot of shit to listen for

From what I understand most radio that we release is undetectable before it leaves our solar system, so no aliens watching I Love Lucy. But If I remember right there is miltary radar that can get pretty far out through.

There's no nudity or sexual content in that image.

Thats not even close to the probability we are talking about when it comes to similarly advanced aliens. Excellent example of a strawman fallacy though. Keep it up. Great job.

A hostile civilization could destroy themselves before the get very advanced.

Undetectable for us, but maybe not for a highly sophisticated civilization with highly sophisticated radio telescopes.

>high probability
Huh, no, hostility is barbarianism and barbarians can't into space. What, do you expect them to fly their stone rockets?

Moctezuma welcomed the Spaniards into his palace, assuming anyone with such impressive technology must be God.

Look how he ended up.
