I'm not fluent so it took me a while but eventually I figured that "civ" probably means "civilization" in the Spudeze language, if so that certainly doesn't explain why we have never seen the slightest hint of intelligence in the universe other than on this planet , and it doesn't explain why the universe has not been engineered and lets an astronomical number of photons to be radiated uselessly into space instead of being used to power calculations and enhance consciousness. Human beings seem smart enough to get the ball rolling on the way to producing something they can fundamentally change the nature of the cosmos given enough time, and Fred Hoyle's Black Cloud is supposed to be enormously smarter than even the smartest human being so I see no reason why it couldn't do it even faster, * > You said it yourself.

In fact unlike us the black cloud uses radio waves in the operation of its very brain, and yet even our most sensitive radio telescopes have never heard a peep from them. And the "wow signal" does not impress me.
