The Fermi Paradox asked why we had no Contact with aliens. Some suggested that alien was the operative word. There was no reason to assume that aliens were similar enough to us to want to talk. Perhaps they thought faster or slower, or maybe didn’t even talk at all. After all, what were the chances that life out there would be just like life here? Then they made Contact, and we found out that the odds truly were astronomical.
