If it had happened we wouldn't be here. This is one thing that takes me an inch closer to believing the quantum suicide hypothesis and maybe even higher powers. We rolled the dice so many times and they kept coming up 7 over and over again.

Such an absurd situation.

Huh, the fact that we have not discovered (or they discover us) any advanced civilizations or even evidence of any in our galaxy makes me believe it extremely likely that civilizations wipe themselves out before very long. Right now, Global Thermonuclear War and Climate Destruction top my list as likely causes.
