  The universe is about 13.8 billion years old, filled with stars and planets… and yet we still have no confirmed evidence of another technological civilization.<br><br>So which explanation feels most plausible to you?<br><br>Is life itself incredibly rare? Is there a Great Filter? Are civilizations simply too far apart in space and time? Do they become quiet, hide, or disappear? Or could humanity actually be among the first intelligent civilizations to arrive?<br><br>🌌 Let me know your theory — and as always, tell me where in the world you’re listening from and what time it is there right now.<br><br>Perhaps the universe isn’t an abandoned city after all.<br><br>Perhaps it’s an unfinished one.

  &quot;We are a mistake.&quot;<br><br>Welp, as the unplanned child of two folks in their mid 40s (a fact that my mother never fails to remind me), it&apos;s heartening to know I&apos;m not alone!<br><br>Sacramento 2:55 am

  The other day, I saw a tiny, tiny bug on a walkway. &nbsp;I made sure I didn’t step on it. &nbsp;Reminded me of myself, never know who or what could kill you and bam, you are gone forever. &nbsp;Life is not guaranteed and there are so many living beings in this world. 🌎

  It&apos;s all life! It&apos;s all me, and you. Alan Watts said it best, “The universe is God playing hide-and-seek with himself.” We are united in source energy, there is no separation. &nbsp;Andy Wier&apos;s &quot;Egg Theory&quot; demonstrates it very well.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnnoBdGpGkE&amp;t=1339">22:19</a>, &nbsp;Detroit, MI.

  What fascinates me is that “why does life exist?” might actually be several different questions hiding inside one. We still don&apos;t fully understand how life began, how common it is, or whether intelligence is even a likely outcome.
