https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_message

The message was broadcast into space a single time via frequency modulated radio waves at a ceremony to mark the remodeling of the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico on 16 November 1974.[1][2] The message was aimed at the current location of M13, about 25,000 light years from Earth, because M13 was a large and relatively close collection of stars that was available in the sky at the time and place of the ceremony

This always brings me back to the Dark Forest Theory . Wild for the imagination but I think the simpler one of space=humangous big is much more likely.

That's not really the issue wrt The Fermi Paradox. It's not asking why seti searches haven't found any intelligent life out there. It's asking why isn't intelligence already evident everywhere.
