wtf
?
@BWMiller you're not understanding me. We only barely observed the fact that Proxima Centauri, our closest stellar neighbor even has planets. How can we even possibly detect an alien satellite around their planet?
much less a star further away
Dyson speres would be noticable
not really
Spheres*
maybe on really close stars
Spreading blackness
Also they would be here by now
spreading on a thousand year time scale
no they wouldn't you're discounting how vast our galaxy is
ftl is impossible
No your discounting how low we've been around. You're missing the entire point of the video
The universe is like 12-14 byo
we've only been observing planets for the last decade dude
Earth has been around for 4 by
we haven't been observing stars for the last 12-14byo years
Yes but they've had that entire time to spread out
and they probably haven't gotten here yet
Planets have been around for billions of years
Even light speed isn't an impediment on that time scale
look that's true, but the stars that formed in the early galaxy are different from the ones that formed in the one we have now
it probably took billions of years for habitable planets to form
Yes but earth like planets have been around for billions of years
there could be a hilariously vast stellar system all around us and we just can't see them because we literally have no means of seeing them past like proxima centauri
they could have a billion space ships in proxima centauri and we wouldn't be able to observe them
But they would be here by now. In the video he says how many galaxies would have to be devoid of life for them not to be here by now
they could have checked up on us a billion years ago and found no traces of life
and then went on not to care forever
maybe they found that the kali yuga we live in is just the facade and tunneled to a different universe
but this doesn't change the fact that the galaxy is hideously vast
hundreds, thousands or millions of years to travel between stars
why would you waste that time to travel to a totally mediocre star
Because if it has the potential for life it has the potential to be a threat
Whatever it's clear you didn't watch the entire video or didn't understand it
And the conclusion I think has a strong support for a religious explanation.
These people also study theorercially super intelligent AI. From a materialist perspective, there's no reason that you could make a machine much more capable than any human.
And it's also clear there's a bottleneck in their goals and actions. How they reach a point of dominance in their local sphere, and what their ultimate goals are can be highly divergent, but any intelligent agent will derive utility out of acquiring resources and knowledge and suppressing competition
And if you allow for the possibility of super intelligent AI then it's truly perplexing why we don't see other agents
