“Intelligent life has just gotten started”

Mind, blown.

Turns out that there are real reason to cast doubt on the idea that the universe is probably teeming with intelligent life. Sure, maybe it has loads and loads of microbes, but human-like species? We may well be the first, and almost certainly the only one in our galaxy.

The argument comes from the observation that there just aren’t any self-replicating robots anywhere to be found in space.

Mind, blown.
