Do you agree that I have an actual argument on why aliens don't exist when I say what I'm about to say?
First of all the general consensus among people that believe in aliens is this: The amount of intelligence an alien has compared to a human, is similar to the amount of intelligence a human has compared to an ant.
If that was the case, would you agree it wouldn't be possible that they exist. Because then that would make them too boring to live?

It has been said that the total amount of intelligence available in the universe is a constant, so as the population grows, people (and space aliens) will become progressively less intelligent.
The OP demonstrates this theory rather nicely.

Sort of, but your reason is why humans and more advanced space aliens would never be able to communicate. The usual saying is: if aliens don’t want to conquer us, then think of how much we could learn from them.
The animal closest to humans with only a 1% difference in DNA is chimpanzees. Humans can still communicate with chimps to a small, certain extent which science is exploring. But what if the space aliens have a 1% or higher number of advanced DNA over humans? There would possibly be no understanding at all between the two species. We would learn nothing.
But the best argument against visitors from space is cosmology. The Earth is not an important spot in the infinite universe. It is not at the center of all things as ancient and medieval people believed. We are one of 8 plants orbiting a minor sun in an outer spiral arm of one galaxy out of billions. How could any race travel across the impossible distances of space to even find us. It is ridiculous to believe that any alien race that advanced would have any knowledge of or interest in the insignificant planet Earth.

It's a novel argument.
