Absolutely. And I agree with your entire post, kudos. I also think that it is extremely probable that there are many lifeforms out there that are also more intelligent and advanced than us. I just think that the sheer distance in space between us and them may be impossible to traverse even for the most advanced and most intelligent lifeform of all.
It really is about how fucking vast the universe is, for us to be alone in the universe would be ABSURD! Yes, absurd enough to warrant me using an exclamation mark, capslock, bold, italics and underline
Is that a willful expression?

While being the first is statistically unsatisfying, there are reasons to consider that such may be the case.
