The “Dark Forest” hypothesis of the universe. It’s not at all new, but it’s new to me. I find it pretty interesting. Though my personal 2-cent take on the Fermi paradox is quite different.
The dark forest hypothesis is the conjecture that many alien civilizations exist throughout the universe, but they are both silent and hostile, maintaining their undetectability for fear of being destroyed by another hostile and undetected civilization. Wikipedia

Dark forest was indeed mind bending to me. I’ve never thought of it like that and the novels just blew me away.
What is that personal take?
