There is actually some real theories, i think kurzgesagt covered or at least mentioned it that makes a mathematical case for us to still be in the very early stage where advanced complex life can possibly form.

Maybe not the first, but one of em.

Also, if you compare the age of the universe right now to how long it will be until heat death, we are absurdly early. We're in the first 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the universe's lifespan.

Oh for sure. My own hypothesis or twists on them generally come from actual things I've heard or read about, and I do watch a lot of Kurzgesagt. Even completely baseless ones, like Creationism, has some interesting ideas perfect for fiction to explore.
