    I think that the great filter/fermi paradox is a combination of two facts,

    1. Our entire radio output (the only example we have to go by) is pitiful compared to the sun, like a candle in front of a flood light, you’ll only be able to see it so far before it’s completely drowned out. After a few dozen light years our radio output is less than the margin of error of a stars detectable radio output.
    2. As a civilization advances it must reduce radio leakage. As data gets more important, it gets more important that you’re not wasting energy moving it around. Narrow beamed radio transmission becomes the norm and even less radio signals escape the system than when radio was messy and overpowered.

    They’re not missing or gone, they’ve just moved beyond messy radio signals. Even we tightened up our radio emissions in a little over a century. Most of what we watch or listen to comes to us via fiber, cable, or short range transmissions like cell phone towers and Wi-Fi.














  • Fauci warns against drinking raw milk and immediately social media has people promoting drinking raw milk “for immunization” making the sale of raw milk shoot up.

    They’re so mentally fragile and easy to manipulate that I feel like Fauci could “warn” against drinking pasteurized milk and getting vaccinated and the problem would solve itself.
    The only issue is there’s plenty of people on the left that wouldn’t be able to see what was actually going on and that the left was having a collective “Shhh! ;)” moment and take him seriously and think he lost his mind.
