The universe is very young. On top of that, an oddity about life on Earth is that it evolved as soon as it was physically possible for it to do so. Which isn't likely to be the case for every life bearing star system.

So we are literally very early in the game. The galaxy might witness an intelligence explosion further down the line. We are literally "the ancients" other ayys will talk about millions of years from now.

Perhaps they will study our memes.
