    Imagine humanity in 1000 years. We would be among the stars.

    Now imagine humanity in 10000 years, 100000 years or even 1000000 years.

    A million years is still a fraction in the cosmic timescale.

    It would be nearly impossible to have other civilizations be on exactly the same technological level as us. They would indeed be either much less advanced, or much more advanced.

      With all the crazy ass things that can kill us off, I don’t think we’re alone in the universe, but we may very well be alone in time.

      The Fermi Paradox might just the the likelyhood to get wiped out from motions to everything and we’re too far away to get contact in this gnat’s ass of a conscious timeline we’re in.
