What if we are the first truly advanced civilization? I don't doubt that there is other intelligent life out there but what if they are at similar or lesser levels of scientific development many light years away? Maybe we can't detect them yet. I dunno. I truly hope we are not alone in this vast universe. It seems a statistical improbability that we are.

Expecting superior intelligence to arrive is laziness on our part. We want someone who has done all the work and will just provide us with help. It doesn't work that way. At least not till our own technology is sufficiently advanced. I'll be expecting more of something from avatar. We'll most likely be the visitors.
I really hope we're not alone too. But I also have a weird thought though. What if the entirety of our galaxy is just a little science project for a kid alien somewhere in another galaxy? :)
This one weak me.
