I didn't realize this was considered a "new" solution.
I always assumed that there would be no contact because we are utterly uninteresting. We probably lie well within the middle of the pack in every single way as far as species go, not only in current attributes and technology, but also in our trajectory.
If we're lucky, some very bored data-focused alien in the region may discretely drop by just to catalog us.
- polishdude20 4y agoEither we are unremarkable compared to other lifeforms and thus we'd be ignored. Or.. We are just like every other lifeforms in space and neither of us has developed a way to travel to eachother or even pick up the others signals.
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoThink any planet capable of producing art would be fascinating to any species capable of contacting it.
- harshalizee 4y agoNot if there's a plethora of other civilizations/species that are also producing art. Some higher beings may look at our stuff in the same vein as a 6 year old's drawing of a house. Cute, but uninteresting and there's billions of 6 year olds out there.
- sureglymop 4y agoNever thought this because I always pictured aliens as some sort of microbial, primitive life forms and not like ET. Not sure why, but that's always how I pictured it.
