These dark forest conjectures are getting boring. The biggest nail in the coffin for them is the statistical improbability that any intelligence we come in contact with is going to be even remotely near us in technological development. They’re either going to be millennia ahead or behind us and in either case we pose no threat to each other. You could try to make an argument that an advanced civilization would come by and wreck our little planet just for fun but in all likelihood we’re about as interesting to them as a tiny rock poking out of the ocean, more of a navigational hazard than anything.
