This is the Great Filter I fear - any sufficient intellect realizes there's no purpose to life and no future in a universe provably dead-ending, so loses motivation to do anything.

No one out there's been found because the only ones who keep living are religious fanatics who can lie to themselves about purpose, and those don't develop tech to propagate.

Maybe someday space-mormons will encounter space-muslims, but I doubt it.
