What is your preferred solution to the Fermi Paradox?

Most of you think that intelligent life is very rare or doesn't exist at all.

@xplosive might be on a path to find one answer to the Fermi Paradox question:

What is your opinion about chips implanted into the brain / human brain - computer interface (for example Neuralink, Facebook brain mouse, etc.)?

Increasing fusion between brain and computer could lead to a virtualized society without the need to explore distant galaxies.

@hermannsol follows this with another approach of gauging economic sentiment:

79% say that it is easy to find a new job.
