I was thinking of it from the perspective of someone in another solar system. Before getting here, they (if they existed) could see some of our radio/TV transmissions, and know that it isn't worthwhile to make the trip. And although I have no delusions in thinking I will ever leave the solar system, if I were to do so, I would certainly not return.
That probably sounds wrong for how my life is. I am quite happy in my little bit of where I am, and do not long for escape. But it is right for my opinion of the world as a whole. Think of all of the batshit crazy beliefs that people have, and then tell me that you, as an alien with such great technology that you can visit other solar systems, that this one is the one you would visit. One with no life at all would be better.
