^ Just an interesting addition, our timeline on this planet is very short. Meaning that even if humans live for millions of years the chances that we encounter another species that also hits their stride within that time period, and is located close enough to us, and actually does stumble into us, is very low. The “time window” is very small. Kind of depressing.

I dont know, that is assuming a lot. For one, if a society manages to evolve their technological level to such a degree that they can inhabit places outside their home world, then the likelihood of mass extinction seems far less likely. Extinction of a society seems far more likely for one that is exclusively planet bound.
Secondly, considering how little we understand of the Universe, I am always astounded by scientists who tell us that the vast distances would certainly preclude any sort of visitation. The Physics we know today is still a work in progress, we are only now coming to grasp with the understanding of parallel worlds. so imagine the capacities of a society that had a head start on us. Im not talking a million year head start, I mean just as little as 500 years. Imagine how much more we will know of the world in 500 years…
