If my camp is correct, perhaps such explains the Fermi paradox?
Not quite sure what you mean.
My take is that I'm not convinced that the claims about alien life 'probably existing' are correct. The main argument as I see it is that the universe is so vast that other sentient life cannot not exist. I've always suspected there's a logical flaw in that argument. For all I know, we are alone in the universe. That I don't like that idea is irrelevant.
Scientists claim there are probably vast numbers of 'Goldilocks planets' in the universe. So far that claim is unfalsifiable. Could it be that the Fermi paradox is based on wishful thinking?
I'm no scientist, so my view may simply be that of a scientific illiterate. Consequently, I welcome correction on logical or factual errors.
