Fermi Paradox and Telepathy

What if I were to tell you, that the solution to the Fermi Paradox was to be sought in the Old Kingdom Egyptian notion of Ka?

The Fermi Paradoxs is basically the question of why we aren't seeing and dealing with extraterrestials on an every day common basis. In theory at least, a civilization just a slight bit more advanced than ours should be able to map out our galaxy in no more than around 20M years and our galaxy is supposed to be many times that old.

What the cat is trying to say is this: There is nothing physical that you could bring back from a trip to another star system that would justify the cost of the trip. The ONLY thing you'd really want from another star system is INFORMATION; somebody living around Alpha Centauri knows how to make a better toilet, a better tennis racket, or a better motorcycle engine than we know how to make, and you might want to have that info. The worst way to try to get that info would be to acually GO there, just all kinds of problems with that including unknown kinds of diseases. The best/right way to go after that info would likely involve what some call the antediluvian communication system.

In the case of GOLD, of course, as per some of the claims involving Anunnaki, you should start by understanding that anybody capable of interstellar travel would also be capable of manufacturing any quantity of gold they might need...
