Seems like being inside a huge void could also be beneficial for the formation of life: might result in fewer celestial collisions nearby, and therfore less frequent mass extinction event causing meteors?

Which might explain why earth has intelligent life but we haven't yet seen evidence of intelligent extra terrestrial life.
