I quite disagree witht his part.  Indeed, I think "intelligence",
particularly in the form of the "technological intelligence" required
for SETI, is an abject evolutionary failure.  In our short tenure as a
species, and even in our microscopic-timed tenure as a technological
species, we've managed to produce the largest mass extinction since
the Cretaceous, and have put not only our own survival as a species at
risk, but the very existence of nearly the entire biosphere within
which we live.

It seems pretty logical to me that there should be NO other
technological intelligent species in the universe at the current time,
because they all kill themselves off (probably taking much of their
planet's life with them) before anyone else even knows they are there.
"Intelligence" is an evolutionary path to quick suicide.  A dead end.
Literally.

Man's next evolutionary step is the total emancipation of woman.
Woman left Africa to have a choice over sexual partner.
She got fed up being used like a female chimp's orifice so took off
with a chosen partner.
Africa still denies women that choice. The Aids epidemic is adequate
proof.
Asia follows closely behind with arranged mariages, inequality, sexual
organ butchery, etc...
Man without fully emancipated woman is a blind and deaf cripple.
He exploits much less than half of his true potential. Only quite a
small fraction, in fact.
His wild ideas, wars, inequality and failure to educate and nurture
all is an evolutionary cul.de-sac.
Man has organised the planet without women's consent, help or input.
Top down leadership is simply big male domination of the chimp group
with a thin veneer of respectability.
When woman enjoys total control over her body, her mind, her education
and creativity then man will be forced to rearrange his status-riddled
nonsense and grow up to face the awful truth.
He cannot organise himself without hierarchy.  It is a fatal genetic
flaw.
Professional women are already choosing to avoid having offspring.
Those who have no choice are overcrowding the planet to extinction
with no-hopers.
Women are the new human super race who will have to save the planet
from man.
There is nobody else who can possibly manage this task beause it is
far beyond man's capability.
Man himself is not programmed to survive until he releases his rigid
bonds to the chimp's lifestyle.
But being a blind cripple he cannot see the wood for the trees.
Not until there are no trees left will he finally realise that he has
been using his wood for a million years.
Instead of her brain.
And we all know that this makes you go blind!
