Yeah. Theres definitely enough smoke to reasonably conclude theres a fire, but we are still waiting for that fire to be directly revealed. I dont blame people for not believing, and I also accept there could be alternative explanations for the phenomena not related to NHI. Still, I find it harder to understand the hardliners that refuse to even remotely entertain the existence of NHI vs the the ones who insist NHI exists. The universe is incomprehensibly vast and life finds ways to adapt and thrive even in harsh environments. The idea that there isnt intelligent life elsewhere is just intuitively asinine to me. Whether or not that life is visiting us may be debatable, but theres certainly enough time passed since the formation of planets to allow for it. I often think about how, not relatively long from now, in just a few short tens or hundreds of thousands of years, humanity will be exploring the cosmos and zipping around the atmospheres of alien planets far away. Assuming we dont destroy ourselves first, of course.
