Scary theory about aliens (pt 2)

Interesting topic. Recently I’ve stumbled across some compelling arguments for why we might be alone. More accurately, why we’re not in a good position to make statistical predictions on the abundance of intelligent life in the universe. Scary? Mjeh. The “great filter” that may be lurking around the corner could qualify as scary. But isn’t our ability to gauge the probability of an unknown great filter just as poor as for the existence of unknown aliens? My suggestion is to accept the irony of needing more observations of aliens in order to predict their existence. Or lack thereof, for that matter. This philosophy in a nutshell, “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it”
