Disagree. If say a species was significantly advanced that they were ahead of us technologically then they likely don’t use anything like am/fm or any radio bands but something digital and perhaps laser. It could be simply that their oldschool communications and media has already passed us by. Their is also the chance that it simply hasn’t been enough time to reach us or they haven’t reached the level necessary to broadcast information. There are a million reasons why we haven’t heard from any of them. After all our first broadcasts are just 110 light years away.
The analogy I like to use is ants.
What do ants think of a species that is more intelligent than they are (humans, for example)?
Do they recognize we are more intelligent?
Ants don’t know what they don’t know.
I think that would be our relationship with any advanced alien intelligence.
And their broadcasts are even further away across vast contiunuums of time.
It could also be that that same species was smart enough to realize that maybe beaming signals out into the wider universe might just be a sign saying, “Hi, we’re idiots, please come eat us!” and use broadcasting sparingly. Or they may have gone to quantum communications instead and don’t have any detectable broadcasting at all.
You feel our first introduction to the Universe was by Enrico Caruso? LOL - could do worse...
