No idea what the marxist position is, doubt there is one, since there's not a lot of data to work with. My position is that alien life exists and that "mathematical proof" it doesn't is some hack bullshit that makes too many assumptions, but presents them as indesputable facts.

Considering how we are constantly learning about life on earth - dolphins have a straight up language apparently? It strikes me as the height of hubris to declare we know anything at all about the impossibility of extraterrestrial life.

Addendum: Life on mars is a good song and Bowie is my problematic fave
