Was it not on this site that someone had a profound discussion about hoping that Life will NOT be discovered on Mars.

The thinking was a bit like that: -There should be aliens every where. But we still didnt find any. -The reason is either: life is ultra super rare, or life is doomed to disappear (for various reason: super volcano, gamma ray, self destruction, etc..) - If we find trace of life on other planet that mean life isnt rare. So the second explanation is the correct one: we're doomed to disappear.

It was a nice read, but cant find it anymore. As I didnt post it here, I should have read it from here.
