They could have done that better, right?

Because they don't care.

If they don't, maybe.

I don't know the actual setup.

But a system who doesn't care about IP can definitely do cool things.

I don't know.

I wish they were real.

It would be cooler.

But no, I don't think – I believe in aliens, but I don't believe in aliens that have contacted us.

But –

Oh, in general.

I mean, statistically.

I mean, so, like, I think there's a fun thing.

So, like, either we're super, super special or, like, sure, there probably are... Why wouldn't there be life somewhere else?

What are the initial conditions for where we are so special?

I think that, you know, people who study, like... I don't do this myself, but, like, there's some... The fact that you haven't interacted with them gives you some bounds on how common it can be or, like, whether they need to be, like, in some environment where you can have water or all those types of fun things.

But, sure, I think that...

Like, I mean, unless, and I mean, the funny thing is it's called tension with religion stuff too.

Like, I think there's no reason to think you're special unless there is a reason that you're special.

And so modding out by maybe the prior being, like we're probably not special, would tell you, sure, there's some, something like an alien somewhere.
