I'd suggest that you go read what the "Fermi Paradox", as quoted of Enrico Fermi, really is before you use it as a proof of your cause. Rarity of extraterrestrials is not equivalent to mankind's extinction in some arbitrary time frame.

Quote:This probability threshold, which could lie behind us (in our past) or in front of us (in our future), might work as a barrier to the evolution of intelligent life, or as a high probability of self-destruction.[1][4] The main counter-intuitive conclusion of this observation is that the easier it was for life to evolve to our stage, the bleaker our future chances probably are.
