Hi all, I’m sure this has been asked a thousand times but what are people’s thoughts on the Fermi paradox? Do any of you have any wacky ideas or explanations? I had a thought today (and I’m sure others have had the same), but it’s basically this: there are no other alien civilisations in space because they have either: advanced to a point where they have fallen foul of their own technological advancements and destroyed themselves, or; they have reached a level of advancement where they have become wise enough to limit their own technology and ‘devolve’ to a civilisation that neither has the technology or the desire to explore space. Obviously both of these ideas Are predicated on the philosophy that technological advancement ultimately leads to ruin and self-destruction, which may not be correct. My thought was that if its true, aliens civilisations that are advanced enough for space travel will have either destroyed themselves before they reach us or have limited their own advancement intentionally to a state where space travel isn’t possible.
