My favorite Fermi Paradox solution thus far is the "Transcension Hypothesis" (http://brighterbrains.org/articles/entry/the-transcension-hypothesis-an-intriguing-answer-to-the-fermi-paradox http://brighterbrains.org/articles/entry/the-transcension-hy...), which basically says that sufficiently advanced civilizations invariably turn inward, rather than outward.
- onnoonno 12y agoInteresting weird and crazy read. Thanks for the link. So maybe we are going towards a 'Weirdocalypse' now? While reading the article, it feels to be somehow close to the edge of insanity. For some reason, that seems to happen nowadays when big concepts are put together. I have this impression this means we are starting to lack new and better language for the stuff that we describe.
