Does anybody in the entire universe read this? God, I feel like killing myself... :(
"In the entire universe..." Hmmm... It occurs to me that this missive is being sent out via (extremely weak) radio signals to my wireless router. Presumably, that means it is also being broadcast out into space...
I've been reading James Gleick's "The Information" recently. He talks about the discovery of cuneiform tablets, written thousands of years ago. They mainly recorded commercial transactions; nobody writing them thought that people scores of centuries in the future would be reading them...
Presumably, the radio signals being sent from my laptop to my wireless router would be far too faint to be detected in the far reaches of the galaxy — with current human technology, that is. But some advanced alien civilization, on the other hand...
Hell, for all I know, these words I'm writing now could end up being copied down and studied for generations, for millenia, by some unknown alien race out there in the cosmos...untold light years from here, my words might be the last scraps of data from the vanished world of humans. Shit, I might be writing "The Epic of Gilgamesh" for some unseen race out there in the stars...
Hey, fuck you. I need to think I matter sometimes, even if it's a flight of fancy...
