Forget the paradox. Why would extraterrestrial life even want to contact us. If they are advanced enough to contact us, maybe they have a “prime directive” that prohibits interference. Since we would be so behind their technology. Or maybe they want nothing to do with us. We treat each other with such disrespect. We allow poverty and give no medicine to billions around the world. So even with the Fermi Paradox, would you want to contact this planet?
