I don't see why it would require a "turtles all the way" down logic trap. There would be a few ET civilisations which would develop the long and hard way, but then they could accelerate or seed civilisation elsewhere. A sort of reverse Prime Directive.
- CRConrad 10mo agoYes it is: If those civilisations could "develop the long and hard way", why couldn't we?
- bell-cot 10mo agoOne take on this - those rare few who did the "long and hard way" were not as lazy / stupid / warlike / etc. as us mere humans. And maybe they took 750k years, or some other really long https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HardWorkMontage https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HardWorkMontage stuff. But a related take - if you just move the "seems inexplicable" stuff further away in space and time, then most people magically see it as being less inexplicable.
