You may recall that we’ve discussed the Drake Equation here before, and also Nick Bostrom’s efforts to amend it with what I called a Doom Constant.

Well it turns out that a very plausible answer to the Fermi Paradox that doesn’t involve either post has been suggested by a cartoon over at Abstruse Goose. I don’t know that the cartoonist was aware he might be explaining the Paradox, but a certain plausible answer certainly jumps out when looking at the cartoon.

They are hiding from us. On purpose.
