NASA can find 300 million earth like planets throughout the galaxy and yet the majority of our ocean bed has never been explored.

So, if the lions share of those galaxies have even a fraction of the Earthlike planets our galaxy has, there could literally be BILLIONS of advanced civilizations out there.
Just some food for thought.

Just because we haven't seen it yet doesn't mean it isn't out there.

You are assuming we are intelligent enough to recognize the technological signature of a civilization possibly billions of years more advanced than us. I am not sure that's true. I agree it stands to reason we would see something, but we have only been looking just short of a century, and the universe is very large and very old. Just because we haven't seen it yet doesn't mean it isn't out there. As a matter of fact, I think that FRB's are pretty intriguing. No solid explanation for them yet.

Look at our own technology now. Where are we heading most quickly? It isn’t towards light speed.

Just imagine that number, its an ENORMOUS number of planets for life to possibly spawn on. Then when you factor in all the probable moons in those systems that like Europa or Titan, might harbor environments for life, and there is possibly a stunning amount of extraterrestrial life in our galaxy. here is a link to the article.

But THEN factor in THIS; the latest studies point to a population of approximately two TRILLION galaxies in our universe. So, if the lions share of those galaxies have even a fraction of the Earthlike planets our galaxy has, there could literally be BILLIONS of advanced civilizations out there.

...that life here was just a fluke and we're unique.

Again, where they at? If even a tiny fraction of them managed to survive, there would not only be evidence of them, but depending on how advanced they are, they would be obvious with massive constructions potentially encompassing entire galaxies. And yet... not a peep. Not a single laser beam.
the best-fitting solutions had large negative blending flux
such solutions are unphysical
