[Bonus] Event Horizon JMG: Why Intelligence May Be Extremely Rare in the Universe

Excellent programming Fraser. Open the garage doing some work listening to the program. Extremely interesting.

I loved the chat and I think John is right. Life has no need to be intelligent and that may lead to self destruction. Live in a balanced ocean world may thrive for a billion of years without fire. While humanity has ruined life for earth in 100,000 years. We wipe out life for us on earth. It may flourish again in balance in a million years or 100 million years again. Technology is a pit fall for us and perhaps other techno life.

To continue, we also have to put into our conclusion that so many disasters can happen to a planet to wipe out evolving life or even intelligent life. Coronal mass ejection, Gamma Ray bursts, nearby suns going Nova, and gigantic meteors. All those can really screw up evolution resulting in intelligence beings On earth we historic extremely lucky and we have a big bone which probably also helped evolution through the tides it created

Space is really huge. In fact infinite . So somewhere somehow there’s got to be intelligent life on another planet. But because space is so huge we may never hear from anyone else because they are so far away.

Fraser, the great filter is already here, human greed and capitalism, it is plain to see.

The great filter isn't final Faiser! We can survive the great filter. Don't sell us short... As long as dump isn't in office... We have a chance! Lol

Doesn’t the Copernicus principle solve the Fermi Paradox? Would you take a 20 hour flight to try to talk with an ant hill in Madagascar?
