If to expand that line of thought even further we shall conclude that we are alone in observable Universe.
Life as we know it tends to preserve itself - the instinct of self-preservation is the main feature of life. Others are just consequences.
"Hi-order" life will preserve not only one particular incarnation of it but various others too.
So as soon one civilization will pass the filter - it should help others to pass it.
And if we do not see that other hi-order one yet then it means this role is ours and no one is out there.
For humanity "hi-order" state of life is definitely far ahead - long way to go. If not the filter is ahead of us :)

Interstellar war probably isn't good for the less advanced civilization. Let's hope when the time comes we're not the less advanced civilization...or the other one will become our great filter.. The great filter also could be a predatory civ that snuffs out any sign of life after they find it. For this reason many civs could be afraid to do anything to draw attention.
