The major misconception in that theory in the OP is that we had "uninterrupted development". There were several mass extinction events. A few of them wiped out more than 90% of species living at that time. And IIRC, the impact with the rogue planet that eventually formed the moon? There was life before that point and life afterward. A fucking planet collision couldn't stop (microbial) life.


relatively uninterrupted


No, that many global extinction events is being pretty thoroughly fucked with.

I guess it would be worse without Jupiter taming the asteroid belt, but who says a Jupiter type planet would be rare in these life-bearing solar systems? Who says they would even have an asteroid belt needing shepherded?


Having a Jupiter out there is a big thing (most Jupiter sized planets are actually close in to the sun so a big defender out wide is rare).

We are lucky to have Jupiter, a lot of systems have their Jupiter super close to the sun and not playing defense. We live in a safe zone and have been very lucky.

What? We will almost certainly create this tech within the next 200ish years (max)

No, there is zero indication to this and even a far greater chance humans would avoid something like replicators as Sagan put it.

You don't seem to know what the words "almost certain" mean it seems. There's tons of factors here, yet you're guaranteeing things that have only shown up in sci-fi.

You're starting to sound stupider and stupider with your posts. You're either trolling or think you're coming off as enlightened when you're really not just like @itachi15243 said.

The basics of that tech exist now.

The basics of most future tech exists now. So that's not a very strong argument that something like replicators that will be detectible in 400 billion star systems, is almost certain. Nor have your explained that these replicators are not here somewhere and that we just haven't been able to detect it.

Again, the only thing certain here is that we don't know. Everything you're saying is based on human behavior and assumptions. Remove those and nothing changes in terms of the viability of life. To say otherwise doesn't make you intelligent. It makes you look stupid.

I'm not here to say I know what is going on, I'm here to point out that there is a good probability we are alone in this galaxy.

You haven't done that though.

You're saying replicators must exist if intelligent life existed in the galaxy and they must be all over the place. That's not probability.

Not only is there a list of like 20 counters to the Fermi Paradox.

The Drake equation with new data, increases the probability.

It's not sad. Do you want to be enslaved by an advanced alien race and forced to do physical labor mining for them until you're too old and then destroyed?

Plot twist, we are the terrible alien race that comes in and enslaves life
