When there’s no more monkeys, the play park becomes a much more attractive place to sit around and drink your Starbucks Frappe latte. Here, hold this box of matches for me.
This thoughtful explanation is quite old, I’ve heard it for the first time quite some years ago. But, as we do not even know whether somebody openly visited mankind so far or not (some say, they helped the Egyptians build their pyramids), and as our culture’s historical phase is still quite short (no more than 2500 years or so), and considered the times needed for even fast space travel (supposed the speed of light in vacuum is an absolute maximum), I cannot see anything close being capable to substantiate the Fermi paradox. BTW, theoretically we could even be the product of “terraforming” done by some aliens.

Which raises the question of why Zordrak broke the pattern and made contact.
