So we can read it and make up our own minds? Thanks.

From what I have seen written about the article, the authors seem to think that advanced ETI should have contacted us by now. But what for? Unless they want to "uplift" us into the Galactic Collective for altruistic reasons, what could they learn from us?

And if it is an anthropological study of primitive societies, they would do much better leaving us alone and watching our actions undisturbed.
