论文摘要
我们考虑了传统上理解的无线电Seti周围众所周知的室内可居住区的一些含义。我们认为，这些恒星的耀眼性质将进一步不利地影响无线电通信的当地发展，因此，应通过其他方法优先研究它们的室外宜居区。这是一个明显的例子，天文学栖息地的多样性如何将偶然性引入文化进化，从而破坏了文化融合的普遍性，这是传统SETI的主要前提之一。这是另一个例子，说明物理环境的细节如何以最广泛，最包容的意义强烈地塑造文化进化。
We consider some implications of the much-discussed circumstellar habitable zones around M-dwarf stars for the conventionally understood radio SETI. We argue that the flaring nature of these stars would further adversely impact local development of radio communication and that, therefore, their circumstellar habitable zones should be preferentially studied by other methods. This is a clear example how diversity of astrobiological habitats is introducing contingency into the cultural evolution, thus undermining the universality of cultural convergence as one of the major premises of the traditional SETI. This is yet another example of how specifics of the physical environment strongly shape cultural evolution taken in the broadest, most inclusive sense.
