my favorite from Fermi is that they may exist, and they may be close by, but they may be too intelligent and we are too dumb to know.
THey compared it to an ant pile and an interstate. Does the ant colony know that the interstate is even there and what it's purpose is? Maybe we are the ant pile?

we will be traveling among the stars...if we don't kill ourselves. That is pretty much a certainty. Our whole existence seems to be the universe trying to understand itself and solving problems and pioneering new frontiers. If it can be thought up...it's possible. There is mind blowing work going on in physics and mechanics that were...for many years thought impossible.

Look up delayed choice quantum eraser...that'll frick your mind up.
