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

because of the vastness

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

And if you don't I think you're breaking the materialist paradigm. And if you allow for super intelligent AI you have only strengthened the Fermi paradox, which has a possible solution in a deity that takes a special interest in humans

you can reach whatever conclusion you want I'm going to remain skeptical

Never trust Lebanese people
