The key part of that sentence was "with horrible implications for us." I'm not specifically referring to "Something giant eating us all and killing us" or something like that. I mean to find out we're alone would be horrible, to find out intelligence is a fluke would be horrible, to find out we exist in a blink between the ticking hands of the cosmic clock would suck, a linear model for the experience of time not being the norm wouldn't be great either tbh.
there is no reason to torture yourself over something that has a 99% chance of just being the most obvious thing of “nobody developed radio”
I assure you I only think about this stuff when someone makes a related post, I don't lay awake at night thinking about this stuff because I have more mundane things to keep me awake all night. :P
