People overestimate past genius, because after you’ve cross about what we consider 130 today discoveries have a lot more to do with hard work and the person’s position history. Smart is pretty good but hard work … no substitute.

It’s justificationary pseudoscience – an interaction on Pilpul. The fact that we can create grammars (general rules) and Logics (constant relations) does nothing without operational (commensurable) language – and with it the other two are trivial.

Until we solve the missing fundamental forces of the universe we don’t know enough to speculate on other life forms.
If the SOL is a limit for physical travel then it’s just irrational for a civilization to do other than grow by rate of colonization.
If SOL is a limit to communication then communication has no value. If SOL is not a limit for communication, then we can’t likely see/hear anything.
So age of the universe plus demands upon planetary stability over time, plus SOL open questions, means …. hard to know until we get there ourselves.
Resources are not a reason to seek planets. Trade is very unlikely to be a reason to seek planets. Colonization is the only caloric reason that makes any sense.
Hence mechanical probes are the only valuable contact other than conquest, extermination, and replacement.
My intuition is that if life exists out there and can defeat the SOL or time problems, even if purely mechanical, then they’ve been here already.

Bertrand Russell, “The Impact of Science on Society”
via Steve Pender “The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray. Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated.” – Bertrand Russell, “The Impact of Science on Society”
