A comment on Why We Haven’t Met Any Aliens. Parent comment
Someone remotely viewing earth with just a 10k year delay would not be able to measure signs of human life.
They would see exactly what we see elsewhere - nice possibly life-supporting planets, but no signs of any functionality.
Now realize we aren't just missing 10k years but 1000k years (at best).
