4. But the universe is a REALLY big place
5. So the chance of the two lifeforms interacting are miniscule!
Do i discount the possiblity that life exists somewhere else in the universe no.

I've never understood though why anybody thinks intelligent life exists somewhere else in the universe. I say its 100% chance that it doesn't exist, and if someday its proven that it does i'll at least try and eat my fucking hat.

People think because of all this tech shit we've got on earth that intelligence is a great survival tool its not.

Life = survival of the fittest. whats the best thing at surviving plants of course, but nobody cares about them.

and

Insects. Why do we discount them. Because they're small, but on a planet with lower gravity they could be huge. Not that that matters, but for the humans to think about extraterstrial life size seems to matter.

Regardless. Who here thinks the human race will be around in 1000 years from now. I don't. Therefore our existence is what around 200000 year out of 15 billion years of universe. Needless to say we suck at surviving. Sharks have been around for like a billion years or something they fucking own at surviving we do not. If by some AMAZING chance we do survive as a species.

its going to take some technology as in 1k years this planet will suck balls.

Then i do see the possiblity of finding what we would refer to as lower lifeforms somewhere in the universe, but they won't contact us.

We are alone in the universe as far as intelligent life is considered and i'd like to believe alone in entirety.
