          It’s one of the theories as to why we haven’t seen any other intelligent species in the galaxy.

          They develop to the point of being able to digitally create their own internal worlds and fantasies and infinitely live in a reality of their own making. They never have to bother exploring, communicating or broadcasting anything into the universe ever. Making them silent and invisible to everyone else.

      Brock Samson: You’re asleep, quick jerk of the neck, never feel a thing.

      Hank Venture: You’ve thought about this.

      Brock Samson: Yes, I have.
