You're underestimating the size of the galaxy. It's impossible to know what's happening in the near half a trillion stars spread over 100k light-years. It's stupid to even say anything final like that.


I get that, my point is that when you put it that way you it is easy to say of course the galaxy is littered with life and civilizations.

When you take another moment, and think through the biology that happened here and the probability of that happening bumped up against the likely number of other planets like us...you realize it may not be littered with life at all...in fact it may contain no life at all....then you look at the lack of evidence for life and complete and total improbability of a lack of evidence if life were common...and you realize we are likely alone.
