  1. By deductively combining the Fermi Paradox and our methods for discovering exoplanets, we can conlude that there are no alien civilizations:

    • In the small slice of the sky we have surveyed
    • unless their ships are smaller than planet-sized
    • except if their planet-sized ships move around in patterns different from just orbiting a star, like a planet would.

    Did I remind you that deduction is infallible and super useful?

    And that the Fermi paradox is really super important outside of journos having to throw together a hack article to fill some space on the page?
