I would think that if any other star system within 100 LY of us who might have or are observing us would have some type of radio communication on their planet. That would be something we could detect, and we would know there was someone "out there" Unless there are those on Earth that were preventing or hiding those Exo-transmissions from us

Why are these people so self loathing that they always assume we are not the most advanced lifeform of our type in the universe?

It is the lifeforms of other types that concern me. :-)

There are trillions of galaxies each with over 300 million stars, each of those with at least one planet. How many planets are there?

If only .001% of those planets have advanced civilizations, how many planet is that?

If .001% of those planets have some form of transportation that allows them to cross stellar distances nearly instantaneously, how many planets is that?

Where do puny Earth people get all their hubris from?
