Like, we’re destroying the one place we know is a sure bet on where we can prosper if we keep it healthy, but instead the world’s richest man is trying to expand to other planets while this one’s ability to sustain life is in jeopardy. IMO that makes us potentially a very stupid species compared to a species that doesn’t really care about meeting other aliens because they value the life on their own planet far more than we do.
That just indicates nobody is beaming an uncompressed signal directly at use. Something not on a tight beam directed at us would disperse and get lost in the noise. A compressed data stream would be indistinguishable from noise if since we don’t know the compression algorithm and with any kind of interference at all there wouldn’t be any way to distinguish it from noise.
Getting a radio signal basically requires there to be an alien race that knows we’re here and wants to talk to us.
Yupp could be a whole species of beings out there with their own space programs trying to send and recievesignals but they’re left in the dark just like us, forever out of reach and drifting further from each other.
