>>11100511There is zero, ZERO reason to believe intelligent life evolved on other planets, given how rare it is on Earth.
>I lived 60 years alone and broke my legs in an accident onceWe don't live alone you dumb fuck, we share this planet with BILLIONS of species, living and dead. One (1) of these BILLIONS of species has undergone a cognitive revolution. In billions of years. That's the simple answer to the Fermi paradox. You refuse to accept it because you've deluded yourself into a near religious belief in linear evolution that will magically always create intelligence. It does not. We have observed evolution and it literally does not work like that.
>Having lots of species is irrelevant. Presumably, other planets would have lots of species as well.And therefore the ridiculously unlikely conditions that created a warm blooded, intelligent, social, tool using, culturally adaptive species with the energy budget for a massive fucking brain occurs on every planet? Have you ever taken a stats class in your life?
There is no reason to think intelligence is common beyond outdated notions of linear progressive evolution. Zero. None. The Fermi paradox is a non-paradox.
"dude we dunno therefore aliens" is fucking retarded. We have a sample size of billions of species. We don't see giant walking trees, so we don't assume giant walking trees occur everywhere. But we dunno, dude, so there's like, a giant walking tree paradox, my dude. No, fuck you.
