Also we’re not very capable in terms of detection and don’t really understand the universe well enough to be sure that we’d recognize evidence of intelligence if we saw it. What would we look for? Stars that dim oddly? Radio messages? There’s all kinds of weird poo poo that we can’t figure out yet that definitely isn’t aliens, but until we can figure that out, we can’t know that there aren’t detectable civilizations out there. There could be space probes cruising through our system all the time, but we don’t have the capacity to detect everything that enters from the outside, or anything really. We’ve only observed a small proportion of stars visible from the Earth and haven’t looked very closely at most of them. There could even be debris or derelict probes trapped Jupiter’s orbit or something for all we know. The Fermi paradox seems premature as a question worth answering until we know more about what the universe looks like without other civilizations.

Maybe if crypto dorks wanted to preserve future civilizations, they shouldn’t have ensured that global temperatures would rise by 5C and boil the oceans by mining all that crypto.
