>>115482111- yeah space is fuckin yuge, making it real hard to find anything
2- intelligent/sentient life isn't likely to develop
3- if it did, it would be in another rare and random anomoly
4- given our extra remote location in a semi-void, why would they reach out to us
5- if everyone thinks an advanced population is gonna be a bunch of peace loving hippies who obey all the rules, what makes you think they ever risked hurting one of their own by flinging them out into the cosmos? that kind of civilization doesn't breed brave souls.
6- if they're truly advanced and they did ever risk a way off, why would they share anything? What do we have to offer? Why would they irresponsibly spend resources babysitting someone who they have no responsibility for?
7- if they're familiar with war, they assume everyone else is, meaning they're not gonna shine a fucking beacon saying "hey here I am!" unless they're already here and outnumbering us
At best we're alone and the dominant species and the universe is our oyester.
At worst we're the fuckin amatuers on the outer rim nigger rigging space ships and making all the noise, unsuspecting of what lurks in the dark
