Or maybe life multicellular life elsewhere in the universe or the solar system just isn't the big deal it was made out to be. Have you ever considered this? Congratulations, we are aware of something that had a very high statistical probability of being true. How does this carry any instrumental value for humanity? It makes for fun philosophical discussions and disrupts some religious belief but it doesn't fundamentally change the day-to-day of anyone. Widespread resource harvesting from the solar system and the option of attractive offworld living WILL fundamentally change the economic and social paradigms of humanity, so when that happens, expect a slow, but big response.
