The building blocks of life

If that’s the case, why haven’t we ever met them/he/her/it/they/alien/it and any other pronouns I’ve missed.

This is controversial view; who gives a stuff!

Enjoy the life you have with the friends and family you have and don’t look into the universe of unknowns, searching for answers that you can only guess are true or false based on your educated knowledge.

We are very unlikely to meet another form of life as although possible, the journey times are too long to get there and/or they could come to us.

While I agree in some ways, my son and I have this discussion sometimes, we both marvel at space programs, love them.
Will we ever truly understand a fraction of what we're being told...no, but it makes you think, stimulates you, makes you wonder...and that's a good thing as well.

Yes!

It's like counting the amount of money we've "WASTED" as a culture on art [in which I include cinema, pop music, graffiti ... etc etc ... ]

Any culture or civilisation that has mastered either interstellar travel or inter dimensional travel is likely to be so far removed from any science principles we currently adhere to it would be the equivalent of modern day humans meeting our early ancestors with a torch, hippo and a Land-rover. It would seem God like. It would go some way to explaining 'fiery chariots' in ancient history however as they had no other point of reference. Perfectly reasonable to accept other life forms and there are many probably. We may prove as interesting as we find ants day to day to them. It appears arrogant to think we are so important just because we are top of the tree locally in galactic terms. To them we may just be angry monkeys of little relevance.

It is thought that advanced Civilisations don’t last long enough to get past the initial stages of industrialisation before destroying everything.
Dinosaurs had hundred of millions of years to progress and didn’t.
Humans have made huge advances in just 300 years. But will likely burn ourselves out.

We are not alone !

Ask the family to leave?

But enormity multiplied by very very infrequently is a number we don't know.
