Our radio waves have just started to reach a few of the closest stars in our own galaxy and will take 50 thousand years to cover just the milky way. There is still a billion more galaxies out there with billions of planets and stars in them.
How in the hell can we know anything? No fucking way.

I agree. And what if an intelligent alien civilization has not yet developed radio technology? What if they are like we were in the 1800's or even ancient times? That is still a civilization and is intelligent. Or maybe they didn't develop high powered broadcast technology and are using wires and/or very low powered antennas.
The whole premise of discounting an intelligent alien life-form out there simply because we haven't "found" one yet is ludicrous.
