One of the reasons why a CET could choose to remain silent is fear. In issuing the space, it reveals the position and perhaps also the level of technological development. Potential ears to hear can be enemies or, worse, berserkers. Perhaps caution is a fairly common trait among alien intelligence.
has also been suggested that the curious and inquisitive spirit of the human race itself may be absent in the minds aliens. You might think that these CETs lack of curiosity and desire to understand the workings of the universe ever develop the technology needed to communicate. At the end of the day in the history of our planet have been cultures "isolationists" (the former Ming China, for example) who did not want to have dealings with others. Perhaps a similar philosophy is common among CETs.
Another argument has to do with a kind of lack of humility. For example, why a civilization more advanced than ours would want to contact us? What should we teach them or what they might learn from some inferior beings? Do we ourselves try to establish contact with bacteria or germs?
Our current understanding of the laws governing the universe is not too late (at least, I think) so it seems questionable that the aliens might like to talk to humans about physics. His would be the same physical laws that govern our universe, the same as yours, in short. Instead, they may show interest other issues, such as our religion, ethics, philosophy or art.
Some authors have suggested that super-CETs try to avoid contact with us in order not to rub our inferiority are just waiting to be able to make significant contributions to the conversation and decide to join the select club Galaxy. However, Frank Drake himself discusses this argument, stating that all of us to a greater or lesser extent, we are constantly in communication with intelligences greater than ours: children learn from older adults learn from the great authors, etc.
can think of many other reasons why the CETs are so reserved. They may feel fully realized and are quite happy in his home planet, seeing no need to look to anyone else. Anyway, the point is that all previous resolutions possible Fermi paradox require uniformity most unlikely reasons. If the galaxy is home to one million civilizations (as the optimistic version) then perhaps some of them show no desire to make contact. But to explain the paradox that every civilization needs to behave the same way, which seems highly unlikely.
Moreover, the problem is even deeper. To develop interstellar communication, a civilization, presumably, need a community of millions of brains. Without going too far, humanity has depended for centuries a huge number of brilliant minds to achieve its present state of technological development. If this is also true for the CETs, then there could be billions of intelligent beings out there, some of whom have access to an unimaginably powerful technology. In this case, the previous resolutions of the Fermi paradox demands a uniformity of motives or reasons not only between CETs, but also individual members or groups within a single CET.
