Were not alone. Maybe possibly.
I tried explaining this very thing to my children today and wasn’t particularly good at it but this article absolutely nails it when it comes to trying to explain why perhaps we may think we’re alone in this universe despite sense insisting that we aren’t.

I always think about it like rolling a big bucket of dice. It would be incredibly rare to have them all roll the same number, but it can happen. And, of course, when it does, it’s not hard to see why some are going to see it as a sign, fate, or providence…I just see the reality of rare statistical probability… 🤔

Interesting article. I still believe that somewhere out there intelligent life exists. Just not in the White House.
