As I've noted before, I find the Fermi Paradox extremely persuasive. And for those who argue with me about 'life' being even 'common', it reinforces (IMO) Fermi's concept. The more advanced life you think is out there, the stronger Fermi's Paradox becomes.
I find Fermi paradox a very shoddy exercise which neglects to hides a large number of implicit, but totally unwarranted, assumption made in arriving at itself.
