After spending a few days reading for hours and hours about the great filter theory and the mind numblingly stupid takes from well known scientists on it, I no longer believe in science.

Just to give an example
>Carl Sagan thought it was extremely stupid to be sending radio signals into space because a predator tier 3 civilization may eventually respond to it and destroy earth.

What is this pop-sci retardation? It reads like a star wars fantasy.

How can world renowned scientists who the entire world put their faith into, be this incompetent?
I swear pop culture scientists are going to turn me into a young earth creationist.
