Okay, what if the reason we don't see anything in our galaxy that could be deemed intelligent life is because any civilisation that grows advanced enough to break the bonds of their solar system quickly comes to the realisation that by living in the high-mass and therefore highly timespace dilated area of a galaxy, they are essentially being fast-forwarded through time unnecessarily.
What if all highly developed alien civilisations that have ever evolved in any galaxy all invariably make the deliberate decision to use their technology to jettison a few red dwarves out of the galaxy, into empty, relatively unbent dark space to avoid the end of the universe for as long as possible?
Building a few Dyson spheres and only ever returning to local galaxies for resources they need
>We've totally searched the whole galaxy! No we haven't, we haven't even searched 1% of it. It's just faggots like you are too impatient and there isn't enough funding going into it.

if time moves faster in the new location do they die sooner compared to their initial time frame of reference? Or they just live the same amount of time, it just passes faster in the new location

Hey nigger, I'm not advocating we just shut down all attempts to search for galactic life and just sit here smelling our own farts for all eternity or anything.
I'm just trying to explain why an advanced civilisation might want to -leave- their galaxies.
And why we too, in the far future might make the same choice.

they become AIs and never leave their solar system.

In a very-low-mass environment, time would appear to pass much slower to anyone living there than somewhere with very high mass (orbiting a black hole for example).
Both parties would age at the same rate relativistically but the party living in super-low-mass regions would essentially see the universe itself 'dying' much, much slower.

Fermi Paradox is bullshit, actual aliens are so advanced that our tech cannot detect them at all they blend in with the background of space.
Camden Cooper
no.
it is just that FTL is insanely improbable, EM radiation is subject to inverse square law. making it improbable that we can hear ET radio transmissions.
most intelligent life probably failed to pass some great filter and went extinct, or collapsed into irrelevance.
aliens have no interest in other aliens or actively avoid us.
