The distances to traverse the stars or galaxies or universe are way too vast, even at 1/4 light speed. Fermi's "paradox" isn't a paradox IMHO, it's just a practical aspect of the vastness of space and the limitations on high speed travel (forget all that warp BS you see on Star Trek or sci-fi shows). Any exo-civilisation would be lucky to have anti-matter drives and half light speed craft. (at the speed of light your mass is infinite, an impossible target, let alone even half light speed, maybe 1/4 is more feasable). Why would they even have the choice to go explore exo-planets over vast inter-stellar distances ? This plant or that planet, it seems irrelevant. I've been reading about this stuff since I was a kid. I am a space guy, unlike you Jordan. Decent guest, she didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but she waved her hands around way too much (she became really annoying after a while), a non-video radio only version of this would have been much better.

@Dedicated_.1 There's no convincing these crackpots, Try telling RFKjnr that Tsar Putin, the guy he goes to bat for, is a mass murderer that has killed over maybe 400,000 people, 250,000 in the second Chechen War and the rest in Georgia and Ukraine. That dangerous lunatic wants to give my home in Donbas (and my wife's lost in 2014) to Putin in some idiotic peace deal. Easy for crackpots like RFKjnr to talk BS like that when it's not his 2 homes that are going to be lost to Russia forever.

Good on you Jordan, RFKjnr is dangerous lunatic when it comes to Ukraine and Russia, he's the archetypal useful idiot. It's easy for him to talk the way he does when it's not him that lost a home to Russians in Donbas (2 if you c9unt my wifes lost in 2014). He really is a dangerous lunatic. and I personally thank you for not platforming him. There's no convincing people like that about the truth.

Where did you dig this charlatan up from ? Empower the Ukrainians too much" is bad ? Easy for this clown to talk BS like that when he hasn't lost 2 homes here in 2014 and 2022 and been displaced twice. Putin's been threatening nukes since 2014 over Crimea. He's not going to use nukes, those bluffs are for useful idiots like your guest. Occupation is far more terrifying than putin's bluffs about nukes. No one here is worried about "nukes" when several of our cities were flattened WITHOUT NUKES - Mariupol, Bakhmut, Toretsk etc.

When Renee mentioned smoking and taking it up because your peers smoked, this reminded me of something my Ukrainian wife went through.But with a post-Soviet twist - when the Soviet Union collapsed in the early nineties, my wife had to take up smoking to get in with the right work group of seniors to advance her career at the university she worked oat. I now this sounds crazy, but it's what she had to do to be bale to hang out with them outside during smoke breaks and build connections. She's since given up smoking long ago thank God and, she's an associate Professor now. But how stupid was that ? Taking up smoking to get in with the right crowd for your career. Only in the former Soviet Union could some stupid nonsense like that pan out! I sometimes joked with her, lucky it wasn't a mid-morning break, vodka drinking group which was typical in the late USSR during Brezhnev's time and later. 🥛🚬🚭

I live in Ukraine and actually he wasn't that smart, he peddles the nonsense that if putin losses he would use nuclear weapons. This is complete and utter nonsense and ignores 11 years of "red lines". putin has been threatening to use nukes since Crimea in 2014. These bluffs are intended to make cowards like Jordans foolish guest capitulate. No one in Ukraine is afraid of the "nukes", occupation is far more terrifying. putin has flattened several of our cities WITHOUT NUKES. Mariupol, Bakhmut, Toretsk etc etc etc.
