< don't talk yourself into MAD>

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high a priori likelihood of its existence…. en.wikipedia.org

One explanation, which fits all the known facts: intelligence is a lethal trait.

Perhaps, everywhere in the universe, life has started, and evolved into intelligence, many times. And then, as soon as they get smart enough to control genetics and nuclear technology, they destroy themselves. Perhaps the universe is littered with the corpses of dead civilizations. That is our destiny.

If we become even slightly more violent, shortsighted, ignorant, and selfish than we are now, almost certainly we will have no future. - Carl Sagan
