No, but others should to my thinking. I can only reach perhaps
four conclusions in thinking about [S]ETI:
(a) It is very difficult for life to get started and evolve to
technological civilizations.
(b) SIs evolve to the point of:
benevolence|caretaking|indifference|quiescence.
(c) We are seeing our [local] universe at a *very* unique
time-point (before the SIs have consumed all the power sources).
(d) The path to SIs is universally fatal.
