A recent proposed solution to the Fermi Paradox is that intelligent life inevitably destroys itself when technology outpaces wisdom.

In other words, the very things we humans think make us special and superior to other animals are actually fatal flaws.

I've seen enough Kurzgesagt to confirm this

The conditions for life are so exact, and the growing conditions need to be perfect. It's very unlikely that any intelligent life exists in our part of the milky way

The conditions for our kind of life are exact, but they were very different when life first started, and life itself changes conditions.

They are so far out that any signal they would send would be too weak for us to pick up unless thy pinpointed us and used a super accurate almost-laser to make the message reach us. Then, it would take a really long time to ever reach it.

*us

Probably because we don’t know how long they have been there, how advanced, how many, or if they even exist. If somehow there was a confirmation that E.T. life exists, we would probably find it a lot faster because right now efforts are half-hearted.

Honestly I dont care whether there is life on Mars or not, but I think colonization of Mars is more important.

We can't find them so they might not be able to find us

I don’t think there is.

Space is super big
