Hi,

That is truly scary.

There is another possible answer for the Fermi Paradox, which is that any recent ET observer would not have close knowledge of the political systems we use, their time-spans, and our mind-set towards wars and weaponry (roughly, that whole nations will follow their political leaders into war without much question).

So observing the THOUSANDS of nuclear explosions (OMG) since 1945, they might conclude there is a long running nuclear war going on (almost true, isn't it?).

Wouldn't WE stay away?

Cheers
