That’s the dead internet theory. Dark forest theory is that we haven’t had contact with alien civilizations because doing so would be suicide, as all resources are finite and highly advanced civilizations will preemptively destroy emerging civilizations before they become a threat. So there is no “noise” in the galaxy, because everyone is hiding and watching, like in a dark forest. It’s based on the sequel to the 3-body problem by Cixin Liu, called The Dark Forest.
Nooo, you’re supposed to correct them but give another wrong answer, and then the next person corrects you but gives another wrong answer, it’s a whole thing.
The Three-Body Problem was so good, I really meant to read the other books in the series too.
