I've always wondered what if there are multiple paths forward. Like the next people will be completely and unrecognisably different. We could be being bombarded with information from a former civilisation and we don't know because we are just completely different.

Like if we never figured out wireless but had everything else, the history of the world could be being broadcast on the radio and we wouldn't know it.
