It's UN-common sense. Evidently only the privilege of a few, such as Galaxian.
Have you been to the archipelago of tiny islands to the S-E of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands? No, you haven't have you? Don't fib...some of them no one has been to. So, according to your logic, there's no life there. Or at best, we just don't know.
But Galaxian KNOWS that there's life there, & plenty of it.
What about the water around it. YOU don't know if it's salty. But I KNOW that it is salty.
How do I know these things? It's called the "Principle of Mediocrity"; only the non-mediocre can understand it (look it up).
That is how Galaxian KNOWS, 100%, of life on billions upon billions of planets of other solar systems (that's not all by any means). That's how I know that billions of those are intelligent. How sooo many are peaceful & live with other sentient species. And it was Darwin who told me about how their life can be described.
I know of planets where not only do sentient species live side by side, but where some actually have 3 or 4 sexes. Amazing isn't it? I've even written published material about it & how to calculate their rate of evolution as compared with a 2 sex species such as ours (and yes, read by Richard Dawkins & applauded by him).
Now, you may mock it. I don't give a hoot. But it would be wiser to develop similar methods of thinking :coffee:
