Aliens Unlike Us - Dr. Anthony Aveni, Archeoastronomer

Dr. Anthony Aveni has been writing about the relationship between
humans and our astronomical habitat for more than fifty years.
His latest work is inspired by a renewed interest in a more...
biological aspect of the cosmos: Aliens. In his new book, Aliens
Like Us, he explores why our stories about extraterrestrial
visitation are just so, so boring. Rather than imagining a true
“other” reaching out and contacting Earth, we seem to just be
inventing a capitalist dystopia *in space,* with alien visitors
who are just extracting resources or looking for potential
experimental subjects. Aveni proposes a more interesting way of
looking at it, where instead of just imagining ourselves from the
future coming for a visit, we actually come up with something
truly interesting.

PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying
bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to
brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting,
reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities.
