Exopsychology and the Psychology of SETI: Embodiment, Belief, and the Other

To the point

Exopsychology reframes SETI as a psychology‑driven search for possible minds by studying alien cognition and human ideas about it, arguing that mind arises from body–environment interactions, that technosignatures require social coordination and environmental manipulation, that culture and philosophy shape our expectations (noting that Lacan and Žižek see the Other as a projection of desire), and that we should map when contact could occur to guide interdisciplinary, honest exploration of humanity and SETI while acknowledging uncertainty.
