cuz that’s where they grew up. building a structure around your own sun is easier than relocating an entire civilization to another one. takes a lot of juice to give trillions of people their own simulated cybernetic heaven

Why does ANYONE assume by the time a civilization progressed enough to make megastructures (if that sci-fi concept actually makes sense to actually do) they’d do it around a short-lived F-type star instead of something that would last up to a trillion years?

Then we would expect they should be here any minute?

I think it’s an led bulb dimming in the room in which our simulation is running. Nothing more.
