@icecold9511 We have the resources. It wouldn't hurt them. We could probably start from scratch and be fine, provided we go straight for nuclear the second time around. After that, though, idk.

This is a big-brain thought.

@urphakeandgey6308 I like the rare earth hypothesis. I like the explanation that we are truly the only intelligent life we will ever find in our galaxy because it's the most well-supported hypothesis, but nobody likes it, despite how it would be wildly convenient for us.

Dark forest is a bad solution because I know that we wouldn't do it because we know we can't hide and we have many historical examples of how being aggressive and expansive is the only way to survive in a world of aggressive and expansive empires. We will do the same thing. We will conquer the galaxy if nothing stops us. That's who we are. And knowing that there are likely others who might come to the same conclusion, the optimal strategy is to become is big and expansive as possible as quickly as possible.

They would need to figure out how to work metal, and I have my doubts.

Kauan R. M. Klein I don't think there are many, if any, technologically advanced civilizations. I think we are alone, and we have already passed the great filter. I would argue that within the next 200 years, it will be impossible to destroy all humans. I feel bad for any alien life we find; we clawed our way to the top of the evolutionary food chain in an extremely hostile environment—not the actual environmental conditions, but literally every animal on the planet. Oddly, no other species has ever existed which even came close to our level of intelligence. It is our destiny to conquer the stars.

@ekothesilent9456 One can't bring a "suit of water" into space for the same reason our spacesuits aren't just "suits full of air. It's not just water that they'd need; it requires all of the systems to clean it and keep the ecosystem within the water alive; it'd require oxygenators, possibly. Additionally, I'm not sure you understand how dense water is; one cubic meter of water weighs ~1 ton.

Fire may not be the only solution for making complex tools: radioactive material can do the same thing and it's not more dangerous than fire, really. Fire—up until very recently—was incredibly dangerous. A species may accept the risk of disease just as we accepted burning to death as a possibility. It wouldn't allow them to create the kind of civilization that offers detectable techno signatures, but it would allow civilizations.

You just read "Children of Ruin," didn't you.

I'm about 15 years younger than you. I was very, very young when I had my first cell phone, but I already knew what it would be; i was only 13, but the phone became all of the things I wish it did. Every year, something else I wish it did became rolled into one. The phone didn't really do anything that couldn't already be done, but it put all of those capabilities in one tool. If you want to know where phones will be in the future, just look at tools you already use but aren't on your phone,or ways to access that information that make the process faster. Think about times that your phone should know what you want before you know what you want because it's been observing your for decades. That's where it will go; they will become more and more like Cortana. They make not develop personalities, but if we want them to, they could.

I do the same for Isaac arthur

I bet it's something about stars. Solar flares that set civilizations back to the medieval era every few hundred years. If it happens enough times and people keep forgetting, then that'd do it.

It isn't a good fermi paradox solution because it isn't "all civilizations." We exist and we're not underwater, so it seems very unlikely that we would be the exception to the rule in an entire universe. I stand by the "we are the first, last, or only" solution.

This is the best candidate for solutions to the Fermi Paradox.
