Sample size of 1, admittedly, but we’ve had life on earth for 4 billion years. We’ve had life capable of radio communications for about 50 years. That’s .0000000014% of the time life has existed. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad assumption to think that only that proportion of stars would have even had the time to get to this stage.
