    This is why aliens don’t stop to communicate with us. They see what kind of trash we’re producing as a species and letting rise to the top of our social structures and they just move on to the next solar system.

      Douglas Adams was right about the hyperspace bypass, it just goes around us rather than through our system. Earth is the galactic equivalent of a shitty racist map dot town in Arkansas

      Or maybe nobody ever makes it to interstellar travel. They always end up destroying themselves first, like we’re currently busy doing.

        This is probably it. I’m sure greed is a thing with all sentient beings and greed always leads to destruction.

          It’s highly suspicious that we can’t see ANY evidence of an interstellar civilization considering how far we can see. Over 13 billion years, and nobody in visible range is flying big ships around or anything? I’ve no doubt intelligent life is out there, but SOMETHING seems to be keeping all of it from doing a Star Trek.
