Fermi Paradox - the subject, not the song

[Ed Seith]

Just read this article that hypothesizes a solution to the paradox itself, and I thought perhaps some of the more science-minded fans might find it interesting. Especially since, with the lessons down, there's not a ton going on here.

NASA Scientists Outline The "Most Unsettling Solution" To The Fermi Paradox

If we can't overcome this, humanity may be doomed to remain on Earth.

Whenever I read about the Great Filter, I think about the Carter catastrophe (aka Doomsday argument) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_argument

This also a good writing about it (not mine): https://www.cantorsparadise.com/the-carter-catastrophe-ee5fd636381c

Anyways, fascinating stuff. I'd like to hear more,

Probability is not my strong suit beyond the Infinite Improbability Drive and Bistromathics. It always seems to me to be as counter-intuitive as quantum mechanics, so I know it's real and probably correct, but I'd rather not think about it too much or the probability of a massive headache increases.

To be honest, when you say "there's not a lot going on here", it's because of the discord channel. That channel in the Synner section is constantly buzzing with people asking questions, sharing videos of them playing, giving feedback, etc. Even well before the lessons went down. Synner discord is truly where all the action is happening these days.
And a lot of people are even asking questions about this site that have been answered a million times here. They just aren't active here so they don't know.

But in regards to the topic at hand, I'm gonna show this to Holly because she'd be into reading this for sure!

Ya, we've had discussions with Syn about the Discord and it's in his hands.

That's good to hear I'm not the only one who's noticed that!

Nevermind needs an invite and I don't know how it works
