Quote by Bill Watterson
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
Summary
This quote, often attributed to science fiction writer Bill Watterson, reflects a skeptical perspective on the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. It suggests that the absence of any communication or encounter with alien life forms could imply their superior intelligence, as they might have chosen to avoid or ignore humanity. The quote implies that their avoidance is a sign of their intellect, implying that if they were genuinely interested or engaged with us, they would have reached out by now.
