Absence of any kind of serious criticism[edit]

PDF file --> Visible& The “Fermi The Great Silence: The Science and Philosophy of Fermi’s Paradox, Milan M. Ćirović, 422 pages, Oxford University Press, 2018. Book Review and quote by David Brin.
" . . the controversy over METI, or Messaging to ETI – is covered in

less depth, since it is primarily about grownup behavior (or its lack) down here on Earth… whether small groups of zealots should bypass all institutions, peer critique, risk appraisal or public opinion, to shout ‘yoohoo’ into a potentially hazardous cosmos. Ćirković’s book offers plenty of grist for discussion and consensus-seeking, before rushing to force a fait accompli on our children. . "

We should definitely include some criticism and this is a start. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 00:40, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Expand acronym[edit]

Presumably as a result of the (correct) retitle a few months ago, this article now nowhere expands the acronym, which (especially given the "not to be confused with") note is a bit confusing. Could this be added to the intro paragraph? Gabrielbodard (talk) 07:03, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
