intelligent life you think so for sure the the but the benefit or i don't know if the benefit but the but like part of the issue is if we're really really really far apart like like millions of light years apart hundreds of millions of light years apart there's no way we're ever going to communicate with each other like we're just like super duper far away from each other um so i think that's plausible and then the there's the um

You know, there's what's called the dark forest hypothesis.

I think this is one of the things I actually believe the most in, probably.

So you have the Fermi paradox.

It says basically like,

hey, what are the odds that there's no intelligent life out there in the universe?

It's probably zero.

There has to be some intelligent life somewhere else in the universe.

And then the question is like, why aren't we seeing any?

Why aren't we seeing any aliens?

Why aren't we coming into contact with them?

And so then there's all these like, how do you explain why that is?

And there was this...

There's this hypothesis called the Dark Force Hypothesis, which originally came out of a sci-fi novel, actually, but is the one that jives the most with my thoughts, which is the reason you don't run into other intelligent life is if you play the game theory out, if you're an intelligent life, you don't actually want to be like...

blaring to every other intelligent life that you exist because if you do that then They're just gonna come and take you out like you're basically like you become like a huge target for other forms of intelligent life and There's you know, some intelligent lives out there are gonna be hyper aggressive are gonna want to take out You know other other forms of intelligent life.

So the dark forest hypothesis is that

Once you become an intelligent life form and you become a multi-planetary species and all that, you realize that you're kind of best off minding your own business and not, you know, sending all these sorts of signals and trying to like make contact with other life because it's higher risk to do that than to just kind of like, you know, stay isolated.

And so there is intelligent life out there.

There are aliens out there, but everybody's incentive is just to stay isolated.

Yeah, there's definitely... I mean, there's definitely the other portion of this, which is UFOs are a conspiracy such that the military can do all sorts of airborne testing and it gets discredited because people say it's UFOs and then...
