Are Alien Civilizations Technologically Advanced ?
The answer may depend on exo-planet politics?
Interesting article, aside from the "climate change" angle...(it's environment, stupid...Not Climate!)
However, the authors bring an interesting point.
Harkin back to ancient civilizations. They obviously had technologies and understandings of the cosmos we do not have today. They built out of stone and didn't broadcast their presents to the cosmos either but they seemed to get by quite well inspite of it all.
Let's look at this from a different perspective. Perhaps, as the books of Enoch pose, we had help from creatures that weren't quite on the up and up...evil you might say. They self destroyed their handy work, poisoned our genes and forever left us with that reminisce in the ruling structures and self assertive creatures of our world.
So, perhaps it would be a smart thing not to announce your presents to the cosmos, leaving the smallest footprint of life as possible so as to not attract the wrong kind of attention.
Of course, all this is conjecture and hypothetical but is something to consider.
Perhaps they are, in fact, watching and shaking their heads in amazement at us stupid humans.

I still like science fiction but that was a can't get enough of it phase I was going through--kinda like The Beatles and Marvel comics.
My youngest of four little brothers read my books and has been hooked on science fiction ever since.
Anyway, I saw the movie. It was pretty good adaptation of the novel or so I thought way back then.
I never forgot it and still wonder about what it would look like inside the body at a size proportionate to that electron.
Bet the Marvel writer picked that up that notion from somewhere else.
Marvel would have secondary stories following Dr. Strange, Ant Man or Thor.
Believe The Fantastic Four and Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos generally went from cover to cover story-wise.
Memories, memories! Marvel comics and Beatles. Those were the days.
I still wonder if we were to shrink a Hubble like telescope down to a size proportionate to an electron in a cell in our body and just look from that perspective...would it look much like the cosmos?
So many stars in so many galaxies is really mind-boggling.
Environment could mean all kinds of alien to our solar system. A space alien environment could b e virtual Garden of Eden, a living hell, wars, pandemics, too many volcanoes, floods, droughts, nasty solar activities, space invaders, you name it.
Some may have visited our ancient ancestors as that History Channel TV show drones on about it.
Others may have nuked themselves back into their previous Stone Age.
Others may be primitive yet civilized with advanced knowledge like the Mayans, who still cut out human hearts so the sun wouldn't go away. .
