Watch What You Ask For

Pandora's Box   (Engraving by Giulio Bonasone)

There’s an old saying: “Watch what you pray for, you might just get it.”  And once you get it, you might wish it were gone.

Such is the warning that’s currently being given in response to NASA’s plan for broadcasting Earth’s location to possible extraterrestrials (ETs).  Oxford researcher Anders Sandberg worries that this invitation could lure enemies our way. 

Think about it:  If ETs are intelligent enough to interpret that broadcast, then they’re intelligent enough to wreak potential havoc.
