If the Copernican principle is true, that we are not in any way special, then there should be other life, but considering the age of the universe (15 odd billion) set against the apparent projected age (20 Trillion years) and taking in to account the likelihood of life generating intelligence (1 in 10 million) on habitable planets (8-60 billion/galaxy) at the rate that intelligence is likely to develop (?), plus the probability of that intelligence not blowing itself to bits before it gets its act together (practically zero) and the fact that SETI has found very little evidence, add in the unimaginable distances between just anywhere and the fact that said intelligence just might want to curl up by the fire (poison pond/freezing rocks) and read a book rather than gad about the frozen depths of space, I have come to this conclusion.
It’s a little too early for there to be many if any around, if they are there then they are undoubtedly so far away as to be un reachable or contactable, keep looking but leave it to our cyber enhanced progeny (in the unlikely circumstance we don’t destroy ourselves) to go and kill them.
