Astro-Intell Agents Having Trouble Finding Alien Civilizations

In more than 100,000 galaxies no signs of the existence of an advanced civilization have been found (see the S.A. article http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/alien-supercivilizations-absent-from-100-000-nearby-galaxies/ )

Primitive advanced alien civilizations may conceal themselves from predators or be destroyed. There may be a sort of Occam's Razor or Diner's Dilemma progression for survival of the meekest I would think. Yet they may conceal their conspicuous consumption waste energy as dark energy exhaust to expand space-time faster thus throwing off cosmologist's careful calculations.

I would guess that throwing a reflecting-energy collecting emergency blanket around the sun would not be an optimal remedy for increasing 1960s era paradigms for energy use requirements to advance civilizations-that seems something like a poetically ironic oxymoron.

Smarter and bigger breadboxes require more and more energy-even stars and galaxies must be surrounded and digested without thought for energy dieting or food-fuel efficiency ratios. Quality over quantity is what ecological economic cosmologists probably prefer.
