The Fermi paradox is explained by the autodestruction of civilization as stupid as we are by a natural filtering process...
This is the bad news.
The good news is civilization old as billion of years has survived their own stupidity and immaturity when they were aged the same as us now long ago by a conscious redesigning of their social fabric to eliminate psychopathic corporation and their psychopath rulers...
The design of the actual capitalism corporative psychopathy was thought about in 1700 in the beginning of the industrial era and in the beginning of English democracy by a genius who anticipated Freud unconscious concept and all economical main concepts before Adam Smith who plagiarize it and rewrote it and before Marx and way more deep than him.Hayek the founder of neo liberalism school called it "our master to us all "...His name was Bernard Mandeville. His short writings were so deep they contains all we need to know about our society foolishness ...
If a civilization must survive it must create a social fabric separation between economic power and science and education and put an absolute wall between them... In the same way politic must be completely shielded from lobbies and no power must ever be given to those who seek it. Only those who had real authority despise power. Einstein refused the presidency of Israel. The leader must be elected and chosen , he must not propose himself. Being a leader is a punition imposed a responsability not a privilege and excuse to profit and impose egotic power .
Science is neutral but sorry technology is not science. Weaponizing a technology is a symptom of stupidity and immaturity of the social organization not a symptom of progress.
Anyway i smile and listen to Bach ...
Weaponizing new technology is part of the game. Alfred Nobel developed nitroglycerin and dynamite to improve the efficiency of large construction projects, removal of material. And then, Volkswagen-sized projectiles tossed 22 miles at other things to destroy them.
The Internet was developed and championed by well meaning smart people with only good intentions for mankind. And now? Mixed bag.
Biology to improve our understanding of germs, molds, pasteurization, leading to germ warfare, purposeful infection of wool blankets with small pox to infect others, the tossing of dead bodies with Black Death over the walls of the enemies.
I was concerned there for a moment. Smile and enjoy your music systems.
