It'd be like a 4 year old living on a remote island with mom and dad who is shown a video of how big earth is yet insisting that those three people are the only intelligent beings on this planet!

You are underselling it by a bunch. The Milky way is estimated to contain 200-400 Billion stars and the estimate for known galaxies is over 100 BILLION.
