There won’t be any new people there until our colonies get there in the first place, so it’s a self-solving problem. Tourists can travel as fast as the colonists can.
I’m not assuming we’re “uniquely special.” I’m not saying anything about us at all. You’re saying there are “new people” out there, that’s a positive assertion. I’m asking you to back that up.
No, the null hypothesis is that if life can evolve here then it must be able to evolve elsewhere, unless for some reason it could only evolve here, in which case we are unique and special. You have a pre-copernican model of the universe
because, much like the show the warp drive is from, it’s not about colonization or exploiting resources, but meeting new people and going new places

That’s a fantastic assumption
Got any evidence to the contrary?
I’m not the one that made a supposition 😉
You said:
What new people?
Any that are out there :)
You have to assume we are uniquely special to think no one’s out there, do you have any evidence that that’s the case?
