@starsandrobots I tend to agree with the book's conclusion: no single great filter in our past but that several Drake equation coefficients -
@starsandrobots ...are smaller than we might expect. (cc@micsolana.)

@starsandrobots@patrickc they all exist extra-dimensionally. they're 'here,' we just can't perceive them imo -
@micsolana@starsandrobots Even if extra-dimensionality is possible, would seem surprising that *no* civ does anything with visible effects. -
@micsolana Many purported resolutions struggle with "every" requirement. (E.g., civilizations implode at some level of sophistication.) -
@micsolana Zoo theory kinda still needs to explain why no life elsewhere in the zoo :-). -
@patrickc the zoo works if we're encased in illusion of some kind (I don't think this is real, but this is the argument) -
@patrickc and to your other point, I think life is simply a lot rarer than fermi allows
