Like, we’re destroying the one place we know is a sure bet on where we can prosper if we keep it healthy, but instead the world’s richest man is trying to expand to other planets while this one’s ability to sustain life is in jeopardy. IMO that makes us potentially a very stupid species compared to a species that doesn’t really care about meeting other aliens because they value the life on their own planet far more than we do.

    I think the only reason this theory exists is because it’s kinda spooky and fills us with dread.

    If such a civilisation existed with the power, intention, and tech to zoom around killing off other species:

    • how do other planets know they need to hide?
    • why haven’t we been killed off yet ?
    • what is the motivation of these civilisation-squashers?
    • and finally… if everyone was hiding out avoiding making any radiowaves, the killers would have long since switched to looking for the conditions that support life, the same way we do.
