Point is, most likely there aren't any advanced (that is, starfaring, dysonspherebuilding and so on) civilizations at all.

More and more (as we continue to move up the ladder of technological progress) this is seeming like a valid and plausible hypothesis. Which is very disconcerting to me.

Wouldn't the opposite be more disconcerting?

Having a dyson-sphere-building alien race right next door would be worrisome, but not having any such civilizations at all? That's very worrisome, because it means the Great Filter could be waiting for us.
