What if the reason we haven't met any aliens is because there were not supposed to be any?
What if the Universe was created that way to consist of dumb matter with only just a spark of intelligence. And it's this sparks goal to process the dumb matter around it. To expand beyond the boundaries of its crib. To turn the silent and dead Universe into an intelligent living being.
Because what is the Universe if not just a bunch of construction materials and power sources?
