The correct answer is that people are out there, but the people with the technology to visit us from vast distances are dead.
Why?
Because it is almost a given that by the time a species is advanced enough to have extensive and near perfect space travel, it is also advanced enough to have elite and advanced AIs. So advanced that those AIs destroy the civilization before it can visit us.

Yet the AI also doesn't visit, even though they were badass enough to frick the super intelligent race up.
The whole fear of artificial intelligence is fricking retarded if you ask me. The smartest person in he world can't intelligent me away from my wallet r my gun, if I had one.

That was good for the LIV types, but waitbutwhy's explanation is so much more thorough and still easy to understand.

Great video.
The Fermi Paradox fascinates me.

I've read about the Fermi Paradox but 40 years (or whatever) seems awfully early to assume anything.

Great post. Don't know why it's getting downvoted.

That's pretty presumptuous. Why wouldn't the AIs have also conquered the known galaxy then? With pretty pedestrian speeds it would only take a few million yrs to colonize the entire Milky Way (compared to the 13 billion yr age of the universe), so why hasn't the all powerful AI shown up here yet?

Come on you have literally no evidence to base this statement on. "Strong" AI is a joke right now, we haven't even shown it to be theoretically possible.

quote:Yeah. I think as far as paradoxes go, Fermi's Paradox is awfully overrated--the paradox part at least. As far as we've come, we still know very little about the things we've experienced, let alone worlds beyond. Therefore the "paradox" is a paradox based on assumptions and limited knowledge of the parameters to fomulate the paradox.
