IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?

Robert of the blog Walk With Me Rob wrote copied and pasted a long diatribe on The Fermi Paradox and  why we never see aliens. You could read it: HERE IF YOU DARE and then see why his blog address is bobsboringbanterings.blogspot.com

Don't say you weren't warned.

"What's The Fermi Paradox all about TC?" I hear you ask. Well, The Fermi Paradox asks why we never see  aliens as in beings from other planets despite there being umpteen trillions of them (planets) in the universe.

 This doesn't mean that there are no populated planets nor travelling 'aliens', just that we haven't been made aware of any yet. There are a lot of reasons for this as Robert wrote copied and pasted being:

• Space and time are brutally large
• Life might be common, but complex intelligent life is not
• Intelligence might be self-limiting 
• We are looking the wrong way
• They really aren't there
• They are there, but physics isolates us
• Lots of other complicated nonsense that Robert copied because he couldn't get back to sleep this morning.

I prefer to be open-minded as to the possibility of other intelligent life forms but pragmatic as to why we haven't seen any of them so far:

• Intelligent life forms on other planets have watched and analysed Earth's communications like internet porn sites, social media, real media, blogs, podcasts, political broadcasts, American 'comedy' TV, reality TV and the films that Richard watches starring Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnie Schwarzenegger, Liam Neeson etc and have decided that they don't really want to communicate with us
• They have discovered Earth but have decided that it's too dangerous and unstable and can't quite figure out why Earthlings haven't already nuked themselves out of existence
• They are bewildered that self-proclaiming intelligent life forms believe in the nonsense that religions promulgate especially Catholics and are a little bit jealous that they themselves haven't mastered transubstantiation, bi-location, virgin births and resurrection as it would save them light years of travel. They wish that it was true
• They think that Earth inhabitants are way too primitive to bother with.
