Basically saying that if there's a significant probability that we are not alone, there is also a probability that we are far less advanced/far more advanced
That could be argued in relation to today's society and ancient societies. While some of our technological advances are far superior, there are some feats that were accomplished by our predecessors, that I'd argue very few could do today, and lack the knowledge to accomplish, without machinery.
The Antikythera is one example.
More than 21 centuries ago, a mechanism of fabulous ingenuity was created in Greece, a device capable of indicating exactly how the sky would look for decades to come -- the position of the moon and sun, lunar phases and even eclipses. But this incredible invention would be drowned in the sea and its secret forgotten for two thousand years.

The Antikythera
One of the reasons I sorta believe that we have had ET influence in our past.
One thing I cant get my mind around is the vast knowledge of the cosmos that ancient people had when they didnt have telescopes n shite. They had an understanding of astronomy is incredible when all they could do is look up and write down
