Haven't seen the channel but it's likely that there's other filters that we don't fully understand yet facing us in the future that prevents aliens from creating dyson swarms.
Because I'm an eternal optimist I tend to think of these filters as very positive, things like finding alternative sources of energy to stars, or reclusing themselves in some VR utopia.
- chucksmash 7y ago> or reclusing themselves in some VR utopia. Interesting that you might consider that a positive outcome. My immediate reaction is that it would be a very negative one. It feels like giving up - "it's not great out here, we can't make it better, might as well plug in and pretend." Maybe I'm making the same mistake as people trying to apply home ec budgeting to national economies; if I just dropped everything and started playing video games it would be bad, but the same might not be true for entire civilizations who are further up the Kardashev scale than humans.
