This is more of a jab to the common practice of assuming that our instance of life is typical than an actual hypothesis.

It goes like this: we assume we're typical life, and we're getting bored of searching, therefore other typical life must also get bored.

It's a challenge to make you think about the point in which such comparisons (life outside must be similar to life here) are true or relevant. It's almost a joke (in the good sense).

This challenge can be expressed by taking the principle that we're not special to the max: if we take it to extend to all aspects of Earth's life, then when we find aliens, they'll be identical to us living in a planet identical to us, which sounds unreasonable.

Therefore, the thing to discuss here is: how special we are and in which ways? How much can we infer about the universe from our current vantage point?
