I could explain the existence of noDyson spheresin the Milky Way, and
I could explain the existence of many billions, but I could not
explain the existence of just a few thousand; the idea that we just
happen to exist during the tiny sliver of time in which that would be
the case seems too improbable to consider.

I think dust could explaintheTabby starobservations much better and
certainly more simply than ET can. It's mind boggling to suppose that
we are alone in the universe, and it's mind boggling to suppose that
we are not, but one of those things must be true, and I think one of
them is significantly more likely than the other.

And perhaps a simpler explanation is thatET does not exist because we
are the first,after all the observable universe is finite in both
space and time so somebody's got to be first.
It's simpler to suppose that all technological civilizations that could
beam EM signals out hundreds of light years (which we can't yet) are
more than hundreds of light years apart and having reached that same
conclusion decided to pursue knowledge by other means.

I think so, too!
