If I line of free credit I would bet this down to 1% or less. The chance that aliens wipe out humanity
OR we can only communicate with aliens but not visit them except on crazy long timescales
OR we detect aliens and find a way to safely make contact at arms reach
OR we find aliens and zap them before they detect us
together make up more than 99%, imo
@FranklinBaldo No, communication isn't enough for first contact here, though I can see and probably make a good case for why it should.
bought Ṁ10 NO from 61% to 55%
