anyone familiar with the dark forrest theory? pretty spooky
basically says the only reason we can’t find any trace of intelligent life is because they have all been wiped out by some type of predatory civilization, and only the ones that don’t make their presence known survive.
and we started putting out super strong radio signals in the 50s, so maybe in 50,000 years some aliens will show up and strip mine our planet and melt us all down into biofuel
