Thoughts on the Fermi paradox and other questions about intelligent life

Space alien paradoxes like many paradoxes (to me) always seem to try to solve problems that does not exist instead of contradicting a measurable fact.

It is okay to exercise intellectual freedom of thought in order to find solutions or pose questions, however when those facts are unproven/( cannot be proven) yet used as widely accepted cornerstone for arguments, it does boggle ones mind.

Wether that be Fermi Paradox, drake equation, great filters etc, etc, etc I’m reaching to the conclusion that these are all just memes for “many” to masturbate about ideas that we are in no way ready to come to conclusions about!

1, Fermi paradox: Fermi paradox, Drake equation

What evidence do we have that we’ll even leave our solar system much less colonise the galaxy in 2 million years? because “scientists say so? Where is the evidence ( just my argument, not a rebuttal)

2, earth also had at least a billion years of life, yet until 70-90 years ago based on these mental masturbations it wouldn’t have any intelligent life!

3, if there was anatomically modern human say 100k years ago equivalent in the star system of Proxima or would we notice?

4, what about summers, Egypt, Rome, the British Empire, if they existed 4 light years from us would we even notice? Are they not intelligent then?

My point is, though the ingredients for intelligence in our current state exists in many places it may well be rare since the goal of evolution isn’t to build rockets but to simply survive, thus many thought experiments and paradox’s are simply used as mental masturbating facts instead of genuine thought provoking questions , I mean I doubt we’d be here if the dinosaurs survived!

Therefore we don’t need to find planet spanning aliens, in fact we don’t even need to find “fish” on any extraterrestrial body, all we need is a single celled organism, and that would answer everything, but of course we cant detect those with satellites.

Let’s continue to look for radio signals, but not find any does not diminish the existence of “Life” or pose any paradoxes worth crediting at this stage of our existence!
