What's the point of this question? I'm sure there are aliens of some sort somewhere.

The Fermi Paradox leads me to conclude that every species that discovers a way to destroy itself quickly does so. I believe it's an unavoidable evolutionary outcome evidenced by the lack of evidence of alien intelligence. So to answer elph's question. Yes, I think it's biological. An unavoidable universal flaw. Other answers don't pan out.

I didn't ask it, I just answered it.

I won't get into a [MERIT]-style argument with you over aliens, but I think there's plenty of evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence so I'm not sure where you get that from. Either way, what about aliens who evolve beyond physical bodies into a higher state of being? Surely they, if they exist, would not destroy each other?

Do you mean us as a form of logical evidence or is there some stuff I don't know about?

OccultHawk 10-12-2017 03:23 PM

It's not a [MERIT] type of discussion.

Drake and Fermi were mainstream scientists and Fermi won the Nobel Prize. If you don't read on it you won't get what I'm saying. I don't care if you choose to dismiss me but there's reason to conclude there's a reason we see no proof of extraterrestrial life.

I really want to see TH talk about how he was abducted by aliens.
