I think the Fermi paradox is anthropomorphic.

There’s an assumption built into it that “civilization” is the end point of life, the “highest” or “most advanced” form of life. But biology doesn’t work that way.

I’m absolutely certain that the universe is filled with organic chemistry and life but the idea that civilization is inevitable or stable seems anthropomorphic. Civilization has barely existed on earth for 5 or 10 thousand years, and it has only been doing stuff that would be detectable from far away for maybe 1 or 2 centuries.

From a sample size or 1 we can already see that is an uncommon state for life to exist in, and it already seems like an unstable niche to occupy.

Life has existed on earth for what 4 billion years, complex life for 500 to 1000 million, and civilization for 10,000 at most. There’s every reason to suppose that life is inevitable when the planet permits that kind of chemistry but practically no basis to assume civilization is inevitable when life exists.

I delete my account whenever I make a really bad comment and want to avoid the heat, or when I smoked too much weed and got paranoid.

In classic German fashion they have in fact cut funding to Ukraine but it won’t fully take effect until 2027. It takes skill to piss literally everyone off like that.

You’re being very generous with that pluralization.
