There is no such thing as a Fermi Paradox

The so called "Fermi Paradox" is an assumption. It's an
erroneous assumption and not a paradox.
If I assume you like broccoli and you don't like broccoli,
it's an erroneous assumption. Not a paradox.
Fermi assumed that aliens should be here. He looked around,
saw no aliens and concluded on there was a paradox. And he
was greatly mistaken. He had made an erroneous assumption.
STOP asking "Why aren't they here?" That's stupid.
A better, more reasonable, rational approach would be to
instead ask ourselves, "Why the F*** would they ever come
here in the first place?"
OCCAM'S RAZOR
Any answer to the reasonable question -- apart from "They
wouldn't" -- involves a mess of fantasies and assumptions
that Occam's Razor was created to avoid. For instance...
Let's pretend that a rational person might posit that aliens
would come here for our resources. Well that is a ridiculous
load of assumptions beginning with the round trip requiring
fewer resources than they might possibly collect. They'd
also have to know that those resources are here.
Many more assumptions, but you get the idea. I should hope.
The answer "The would come here to collect our resources"
would be dependent upon things which are not only NOT
true in our own case, but we have no idea how they might
ever become true. We don't know how to travel the vast
distances of space in anything that could be mistaken for
a reasonable amount of time without expanding VAST resources
on the vessel, planing and propulsion. So...
"Let's just assume that their lifespans are many thousands
of years."
Mmm... Occam's Razor.
We have to make ridiculous assumptions just to move resources
from here to there!
But the point, of course, is that these awkward contortions
are true regardless of what motivation we might attribute to
alien visitors. Except for one:
Seek and destroy.
The prospects aren't very pleasant there, are they?
