The reason why we have not met "aliens"

Hello, i'm sorry if this post may seem a little bit controversial. But i've been meaning to get this off of my chest or a while. Here's it-

It baffles me how that many people have not think of this through yet and still have questions about why aliens have not been found yet till today, some even go to the extent to conclude that there are indeed no life other than us and that we are "special" and are an accident in physics. Though yes there are currently no evidence that proves if there are any life other than us and that we don't know for sure for the sake of being "sure", but i'm 99% positive that there are lives other than us- remember, there were once no evidence that there are any other planets than earth.

Here's my theory on why we have not found "alien" yet. And no, it's not because they're hiding from us... lol.

People seem to have the idea of if there is such thing as "alien" then they are 100% far much more advanced than us and can already manipulate reality by just a snap of their fingers and plus that they had already developed a technology that can travel much faster than the speed of light and that it'd take them a snap of a finger to travel into extreme distances such as lightyears... i have no idea where this theory comes from but i'm sure that the person who comes up with this idea is atleast a stoner. And also, even if there are such species with such capabilities, i have no idea why people seem to think that this "earth" stands out so much more than atleast thousands of other earths out there that it'd be impossible for them to ignore this "earth". In reality, we are just another speck of dust for them equally as any other goldilocks planets (planets with property for life) there are in this galaxy.

Here's my thoughts. It's very likely for life to exists somewhere out there in the universe outside of our planet before and after human and the earth itself even had existed and even presently. Life started because the condition in our planet is sustainable enough to support life, scientists have discovered atleast 4000 planets (which is called as goldilocks planet) that are confirmed to have the same sustaining properties earth has (similar to earth). I don't think that we're any special from them, if gravity applies to this planet then there would be no reason for gravity to not apply in any other planets with the same property to conduct gravitational pull- i'm sure this also applies for life, if a planet contains all the necessary properties it needs for life- there's no reason for life to not occur just as how it occurs to earth.

The reason why we've had never met any aliens because the likelihood for any other intelligent interstellar species to be intelligent enough and had the capacity and machinary and that are willing to travel these incredible distances and somehow ended up on this one "earth" is incredibly unlikely.

For starter, it took earth 5 billion years to create an intelligent species that are intelligent enough to create machinary- which wouldn't happen if dinosaurs did not go extinct. Then it took us another 200000 years to gather knowledge to get to where we are right now.

Many other earths right now probably dont have an intelligent species yet that are intelligent enough to create machinary- or if there are, maybe right now the "humans" on those earths are still not advanced enough to be able to build a vehicle capable of lightspeed.

And even if they do actually have intelligent species capable of building vehicle with the speed of light, it'd take tonnes of resources and supplies just to reach to their neighbouring stars. And don't forget- time... It'd take light atleast a few years to reach to their closest relatives of stars and back, imagine if we are actually 200+ light years away from them... And if their vehicles aren't actually capable enough of lightspeed and still at the speed of half of lightspeed or even less... It'd literally going to take atleast a millennia... Are they even willing to set into this kind of journey ?That they'd sacrifice hundreds (or even thousands) of years of their life (if they even live for that long) and are probably will never going to get to know their own home planet ever again. Imagine having to sacrifice hundreds (or even thousands) of years of your life leaving everything you've ever known and love, just to meet another "earth"...

And despite of all of that, they don't even know if this "earth" still even have an intelligent life or not (yet)... What would make them willing to risk ? There are literally thousands of other earths (which are discovered by our scientists- i'm sure there are way more than that if not millions of trillions of earths) out there that are most likely closer to them than us, why would you think they'd pick us rather than many other thousands of selection of earths ? What are the chances ? Imagine picking a number out of 1 to 1000 and then rolling a 1000-numbered dice to see if you got your number picked right... Incredibly unlikely...
