    Maybe we’re slow learners and aliens are better at hiding than us because they know better. Maybe Mars is teeming with life under the surface. Though, I guess we’d detect some pretty huge signals like methane exhausts and what not, unless they’re just also very good at hiding that. Maybe Jupiter’s gas is an artificial smoke screen. We could also be a lot physically closer than we think to dormant alien AI left over from long dead civilizations.
