Good article, however I think it's too pessimistic about the possibility of extraterrestrials. I don't know if it's human exceptionalism or poor understanding of how mind-breakingly massive the universe actually is, or a combination of the two, but there is life out there. We've only been searching for a couple decades with our primitive tools and haven't even begun to scratch at an atom of the surface of places to look for life.
