I just feel that the universe is too vast to not have life out there more intelligent than ours.
It is humbling to think that in 30-40M years life will likely have evolved to the point that current humans would seem like the equivalent of house pets. Think of an alien speciies that has evolved 2-3 billion years beyond that. We'd be so inferior that we wouldn't even be on their radar. It would be a human not really paying attention to an ant hill.
I would go even further and say that any advancements in science or technology that our species make is utterly irrelevant. We are hiccup away from chimps. There has to be another rung or two (or three and beyond) left in the evolutionary ladder. Our #1 objective as a species should be to accelerate evolution and maintain a healthy environment for the planet.
