Also, If we believe there are paralel universes there is no doubt at least one where invisible art is a big thing.
Alien art. The next big thing.

I'd just like to point out that John Cage made a piece of music that is exactly 4m 33s of silence.
And there's probably other, similar examples.
I see nothing wrong with it. I didn't look into Salvatore Garau's arguments, but those of John Cage are interesting and thought provoking, and valid.
If my city bought something like this for a million bucks I might be cross with my city - but not the artist. If they manage to sell that for 18.000 credits, well, good for them. I'm sure the buyer wasn't duped into anything and knew exactly what he was getting.

Super inteligent aliens do most likely not communicating with sounds. And even if we survive another thousand years we'll most likley not use sound as the main communication. It's simply to too slow.
The sound of silance.

There's plenty to improve... (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fire...the_Deep#Tines for some insights
)

Speech came much later, by which time our auditory system had been fully adapted and thus speech had to fit within the same range.

Is there something to support it?
Assuming you mean direct person-to-person communication, not over distance?
OTOH, some teenagers must by superintelligent aliens, I saw them standing together, communicating via Instagram.

10% of the humans are fully vaccinated. Does it have any effects or is the viruses just resting and or moving to new countries?
