Content of the article is pretty information, but worst clickbait title of the year. At the risk of alienating some fraction of HN community (no pun intended), I'm going to say this is what you get when trying to chase the likes of Gawker (again, no pun intended).

- mrob 10y agoI read a good short story recently about a weird Great Filter: http://www.begoodenough.com/the-great-filter/ http://www.begoodenough.com/the-great-filter/
- amasad 10y agoThe first movie that I think plays around with the idea of a Great Filter (not quite; but close) is The Forbidden Planet, a 1950s scifi. The basic idea without spoiling it is that enhancing their own intelligence also made powerful their lizard brain of sorts. I assume freudian psychoanalysis was big in the 50s so they called it the ID in the film.
