It sounds sort of like how everybody tries to avoid Cleveland.
It certainly fits with the theories earth is on the proverbially other side of the tracks, it's the garbage dump of the universe, perhaps even the cosmic "Australia". The dumping grounds for eons of all the galactic refuse and scoundrels and malcontents.
or perhaps we have already been quarantined as the universal "Typhoid Mary"
Clearly you haven’t been here but please keep spreading that message so people stop coming here.
I like being sparsely populated in a beautiful, unique environment where people aren’t ready to kill each other based on whether you wear a silly little red hat or vote for a hair sniffing’ brain donor.
I see a lot of projection coming from people in the states.

Gee, I dunno, maybe because the whole hypergenius space wizard theory is lazy and derivative of pagan mythology and exploits "convenient" science that doesn't actually recognize or identify any traces of life outside of our planet. Or maybe because we are compulsively fixated on elevating our alpha energy to demigod status to offset our crippling anxiety about mortality and existential futility. Or maybe it's because we hate our government and desperately crave a more judicial and wholesome relationship with an authoritative agency that will carry us home, heal our wounds, protect our fragile minds and give us purpose so we never have to question our identity or place in the world ever again.
I guess there's a lot of reasons we would just bypass all the rigor and tedium of scientific inquiry for the most self serving and ego boosting conclusion imaginable.
But when scientific inquiry keeps exposing mind-bogglingly complex ordered systems being present everywhere from the cellular to the astronomic level you have to start to conclude that there is an Architect behind the order.

The Architect is nature itself. It was tendency to self-organise.

Come on let's not act like the "Aussies' don't give America crap as well,that said what is wrong with this historical account of Australia. Not to mention your current government sounds rather penal according to its definitions.
Britain decided to use its new outpost as a penal colony; the First Fleet of 11 ships carried about 1500 people—half of them convicts. The fleet arrived in Sydney Harbour on 26 January 1788, and it is on this day every year that Australia Day is celebrated.
In all, about 160 000 men and women were brought to Australia as convicts from 1788 until penal transportation ended in 1868. The convicts were joined by free immigrants from the early 1790s. The wool industry and the gold rushes of the 1850s provided an impetus for free settlers to come to Australia.

Thanks for posting this.
I wonder how this 1/10th density is affecting life on earth since we entered the void 5 million years ago.
I would pose that if there were another intelligent life form out there with a similar or even better idea, they would perhaps avoid our area for exploration as other areas might have more plentiful options for them finding intelligent life, or even resources to plunder.
So...in other words...aliens may be a-VOID-ing earth.

But... but... who spawned the architect?
If an architect was self generating or always there, then why not his buildings?
I think it's time to hang up the strings on the puppets and the infinitely regressive puppeteers and call the whole thing impossible and admit we will not, don't now, nor have ever existed. It's the only solution!
