As the number of planets increases, the probability of other intelligent species besides humans approaches one. There are an estimated 100 billion planets in the milky way alone, yet no evidence of intelligent life off of Earth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox …

That's interesting but I'm not sure it tells us anything about the rarity of other species given that we already exist?
Yeah, agreed. Sentient life can exist in a way that doesn't allow us to perceive it, for example. I was thinking, with regards to the standard rarity argument, in order for us to discover a new sentient life form it needs: 1. To exist 2. To be conscious 3. To care
