Well, it's certainly something to think about, but I have to say that it is surely nowhere, absolutely nowhere at all near as mind blowingly profound as the discovery of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe would be.

Discovery of intelligent alien life would cause a brief flurry of interest. And then most everyone would lose interest when they realize the aliens are too far away for any type of meaningful interaction.
