Just reading the 4% universe (thanks to Steve Hand for loan) -
in this, it appears that state-of-the-art cosmology claims that
dark matter + dark energy must add up to around 96% of the Universe...
I would claim that there's a societal analog which is that
it is perfectly clear the intelligence of crowds is vastly less than
the sum of the intelligence of individuals in the crowd - in fact a group
of more than 2 people decreases in intelligence faster than 1/group-size
i.e. 10 people acting togther have less than 10% the intelligence of one indvidual.
So where has all the intelligence in society gone?
Easy, as with matter and energy, it is dark intelligence
As society gets large, just as with the expanding universe, we have to invoke some sort of social force that controls the rate of growth, that is the analogue for gravity in the Universe. So all the intelligence is used up just keeping things together. There's no real solution for this - this is why
also, we have not met aliens yet, nor will we ever - once a society gets big enough to escape its home planet, it is necessarily too stupid to manage it any more.
Finally we have a scientific explanation for the Fermi Paradox.
