What's your solution to the Fermi Paradox?
As a reminder because people are often confused about this, the Fermi Paradox is NOT about detecting or sending radio signal or even finding a few planets with life, but the concept that if intelligent alien life exists then it's likeky that at least one would
1. be quite older than modern civlization and thus much more advanced and had a lot of time to expand (Human civ is recent, it's much more likely that other civs are millions of years older than us than be close to our own)
2. could even without FTL travel or communication colonize a whole galaxy in a few million years either by using self-replicating probes or only slower by a few orders of magnitude interstellar colonies sending colonizing ships that will themselves send other ships and thus grow exponentialy
3. could be the only one making an impractical choice (creating colonies that they will never be able to truly communicate with, not putting 100% of your ressources in VR or a megastructure or even a sort of anti-interstellar expansion prime directive being obvious once you are phisophically advanced enough) because ONLY ONE civ deciding otherwise is necessary to colonize a galaxy
