The paradox itself makes no such assumptions or speculation. It simply says that everything we know indicates that life and presumably technologically advanced life should be everywhere, yet we see it nowhere. There's an absolutely phenomenal article on the Fermi Paradox at WaitButWhy [1]. Your objections are mostly just scratching the surface of the wide array of possible explanations for it.

- joe_the_user 9y agoYou are simply mistaken. The article you link to filled with speculation concerning "type II" and "type III" civilizations. If you assume earth-level civilizations as advanced, "where is everyone?" has a simple answer - "I don't know because we couldn't see them anyway". If you assume some other civilization as advanced, you are speculating. That's what speculation means.
- sametmax 9y agoI would upvote you so much more if I could. So many issues I see in reasonings are a direct cause of lack of imagination. What we know is limited. Speculating is interesting. But it's critical to identify it as speculation.

- doktrin 9y agoYou're also speculating. Your original post is quite literally a list of 'what if' scenarios.
- indubitable 9y agoAgain the paradox has nothing to do with that. The paradox is simply in the discrepancy in what we see versus what our current state of knowledge leads us to expect we ought see. The article covers a wide array of possible reasons for this, including the possibility of advanced civilizations not existing which seems to be your focus.
