>Sun-like stars are confirmed to be rare
>Sun-like stars as passive as ours are confirmed to be even much rarer
>Red Dwarfs, the most common type of star in the universe, have just recently been found to be way too active to allow for life to exist, not to mention many other disparaging factors such as high probability of tidal locking, etc.
>all of this on top of the fact that we've yet to find even a single truly earth-like planet
Yet popsci pseuds still think the universe is teeming with life. Why? All of the facts point to life being extremely rare, and what little life there is in the universe is almost certainly short-lived cellular life that gets wiped out not long after its emergence.
We are almost certainly the only intelligent and technologically advanced life in our universally interact-able horizon. If there are others like us out there they are all hundreds of millions or billions of light years away aka they might as well be in another universe.
