It seems the most likely would be that most planets are inhabited by life forms that aren't intelligent.
Out of 13Bn years, humans in any form have been around 1M years. Civilized societies only a few thousand.
We'd find many more planets with Dinosaurs on them (they lasted 200M years)....
The thought that 1 out of 7 suns has earth-like planets is still amazing though. Wouldn't it be rather likely that an advanced intelligence is watching us at that point?
