Life is Diamonds

I know why we haven't discovered advanced civilizations yet. They would be capturing all of the light hitting their planet, rendering themselves invisible to all of our advanced telescopes. They would also be using non-emitting communications, as that's just wasted energy, and energy is the only important resource when you're a civilization at that level of advancement. We can't discover them until we become as advanced as them, and they would view us as primitive barbarians not worth interacting with until we were able to initiate contact. The problem with our search for advanced civilizations is that we're looking not only for light instead of darkness, but looking for radio emissions, which we will eventually realize is a waste of energy.

I recently learned that when you compare most estimates of the probability of abiogenesis with the Fermi paradox conclusions, it is probable that we are the only biological life that has ever evolved in the universe. We simply cannot know until we as a civilization reach that point, and the possibility of humanity reaching that point is. . . low. This is why the programmer of the simulation cares about humanity. . . We're profoundly rare, no matter how you look at it.

We may or may not be entirely alone in the universe, but we are most certainly special in the simulation we call creation. We intuitively disbelieve this because we do not feel special or unique as individuals, but that misleads us; in fact, the fact that we are special as humans, makes us unique as individuals, and likely makes us at the very least interesting to the programmer of reality, who would be unbound by time, and therefore fully capable of observing and caring personally for each and every one of us for what we are: The Diamonds of the Universe.
