Cosmic and Planetary Conditions
- Right type of star (not too hot or cold, stable for billions of years)
- Habitable zone location (right distance from the star for liquid water)
- Planetary size and gravity (sufficient to retain an atmosphere)
- Magnetic field (protects the atmosphere from solar winds)
- Stable climate (regulated by geological and atmospheric processes)
- Protection from excessive radiation (through magnetic field and atmosphere)

Chemical and Geological Conditions
- Presence of water (essential solvent for biochemical reactions)
- Abundance of organic molecules (carbon-based molecules for building life)
- Diverse chemical elements (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur)
- Tectonic activity (recycles nutrients and stabilizes the climate)
- Volcanism (contributes to atmosphere and surface chemistry)
- Presence of a moon (stabilizes the planet’s tilt and climate)

Biological and Evolutionary Conditions
- Photosynthesis (cyanobacteria producing oxygen)
- Development of an ozone layer (protects from harmful UV radiation)
- Eukaryotic cells (cells with a nucleus, enabling complex life forms)
- Sexual reproduction (increases genetic diversity)
- Evolution of multicellularity (organisms with specialized cells)
- Development of nervous systems (enabling complex behaviors)
- Evolution of sensory organs (for interacting with the environment)
- Intelligence and cognitive abilities (problem-solving and abstract thinking)
- Social structures (cooperation and communication)

Environmental and Ecological Conditions
- Stable ecosystems (supporting diverse life forms)
- Availability of food sources (supporting energy needs)
- Ecological niches (allowing for specialization and diversity)
- Symbiotic relationships (mutually beneficial interactions among species)

Catastrophic Events
- Mass extinctions (reset ecological systems and allow new forms to evolve)
- Asteroid impacts (causing significant changes in the environment)

These are the conditions that resulted in us being here now. And that isn't including the things that we came up with, such as tools creation and usage, agriculture, language, social organisation and the discovery and use of fossil fuels.

So, intelligent life is abundant in the universe, considering the sheer number of star systems out there.

But relative to us? Extremely, extremely rare.

You don’t need all those for life. You need some of them to get precisely human life, but other configurations could yield life too.

>Long term I don't think it is
Why not? I can't think of any likely event being able to render humans extinct. You'd have to kill pretty much everything on earth before you take us out.
Better yet, there's only at most a million year long window in which you have to render this new intelligent species extinct. Once they've colonized space the chances of extinction drop even further.

From our current position I fully expect we'll have colonized space (self sustaining obviously) within 10,000 years. This time span accounts for societal collapses that could (and will probably due to dysgenics) happen.

What do we expect to see if life is common, especially intelligent life? We'd expect to see life.
Do we see life? No, so the assumption life is common is flawed.

Because we can barely examine other planets for life. Besides 1 life hosting planet per, say, 100 000 still makes life very abundant.

Because the distance between us is so massive the ”lag” makes it unfeasible. And we’ve only been detectable by radio wave emission for like 150 years.

Combination of rare earth and by extension rare sun. Kepler taught us that most stars are much more erratic than our sun.

Our current instruments are barely even capable of detecting planets at large distances let alone analyzing them in detail

Not to mention we ourselves would be really hard to detect
