Every issue related to the existence of aliens must answer that paradox first. My favorite interpretation: we are the most advanced civilization in the galaxy.
"Why would they want to visit us?" - this can have trivial answers: the same reasons why we study ants today.
- anywherenotes 13y agoI like this one the most: "It is the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself" There could simply be a technological ceiling. Once civilization reaches the ceiling, it hits it's head on the ceiling, and falls down the stairs either destroying itself or at very least losing most the progress.
