the odds are in your favor

out of the millions of species on earth, only one is technologically sophisticated. And the others aren't even close to being there.

Intelligent species tend to kill each other off. Note that we aren't the only hominids. Note what we are doing to the most intelligent of our cousins. Note what we did to the Neanderthals.
