Which kind of makes sci-fi aliens even cooler, in a way, because they’ll never be shown to be stupidly wrong when we discover the real thing.
They’re as close as we’ll ever get. 🔭

So even if we assume that interstellar travel is achievable and will happen before we nuke ourselves into oblivion, encountering another species anywhere near our own intelligence is astronomically unlikely.

And in the nearly impossible circumstance that all of these coincidences coincide to produce highly intelligent life, it would usually be self-terminating meaning that intelligence would only exist for a relatively short time, unlikely to coincide with us.

So, on a cosmic scale, life is already an extreme rarity. That life having a mechanism for adapting over time, much rarer still. That mechanism favoring extreme intelligence over brute force, durability, or prolificacy, eeeeeeven rarer.

Human intelligence has produced an unnecessary combination of all three of these things and it’s made us a destructive force that will probably end up all but erasing the entire ecosystem, including ourselves.

1. Dumb powerful murder machines.
2. Dumb things that are so tough or evasive that the murder machines have a hard time murdering them.
3. Dumb things that are so prolific that most of them can be murdered and still have enough left to increase their population.

Life on other planets? Sure. That could happen on rare occasions.
But in whatever ecosystems may exist out there, assuming they have some complex mechanism to evolve at all, it seems like they’d overwhelmingly produce three classes of beings:

Hey maybe the IDF could stop killing journalists in Gaza so there could be more actual coverage? Or do you think maybe they don’t want people to know what’s actually going on there? 🤷

Except they’re not headed to Israel. They’re headed to Palestine.

The Israel Foreign Ministry is so inept, it shared its “evidence” on social media about Hamas links to the Global Sumud Flotilla and circled two Hamas officials. Problem is one of those “Hamas officials” is actually British politician George Galloway. The idiots didn’t check their own propaganda.

They were released 2.5 years apart and both enjoyed lengthy tenures atop the Billboard Top 100.
Between these two releases, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs released their biggest hit ‘Maps’, which contains no “Yeah”s at all.
Really makes you think, yeah?
