       @brecht My favorite is that it isn't a paradox. They have been in contact with the ants for thousands of years and the collaboration has been very fruitful. Silly of us to think we are the most interesting thing on a whole planet of living things and in particular silly to think we are more interesting and advance than the ants.

       My favourite solution for the Fermi paradox is that we're a remote and purposefully uncontacted civilisation, monitored from a distance by the intergalactic equivalent of FUNAI.

       @futurebird @brecht "But," the pedants protest, "the ants have no technology, they can't get to space! By any reasonable measure the ants are not an advanced lifeform!"Meanwhile the ants continue storing larva onboard the next SpaceX flight, slyly unaware of their technological 'failings'.

       @futurebird @brecht My favourite is that you solve the causality problems of faster than light travel by completely enclosing your star system in an impermeable bubble, completely impervious to the outside universe, connected via wormhole with the other interesting star systems. And that's where all of the missing mass is.
