I think when we finally do make contact it's going to be an extremely humbling experience for the human race.
For all we know we could be the considered "the short bus" compared to other species and how long it took us to evolve π
Hey there's the slooow kid, yeah the humans πAt least they're finally not throwing π© at each other and living in trees... they still believe a Carpenter that lives in the clouds made the universe π

@mister_monster there is that possibility. I doubt it but you never know, and if we are God help the rest of the universe π
@mister_monster true, but there's equal chance we are by far not the first intelligent life π€
@Wetrix I honestly do believe this scenario. We know there is a high likelihood that there is life all over because we understand the chemistry, but there is no similar way to measure the likelihood of complexity or intelligence. Could be a trillion planets covered in bacteria, or trilobites, or algae or whatever. The likelihood we are alone as life is low, but the likelihood we are alone as intelligent life cannot be estimated at all, we simply don't know the statistics around any of it.
