    How about a civilization that doesn’t have chemistry at all? Set off a von Neumann machine to colonize the universe and biology is irrelevant after that.

    You ignored the other “maybes” I threw out there, BTW. It only takes one of those to work in one situation and the Fermi Paradox is off to the races.
