One thing I think often gets ignored is the fact advanced civilizations require complex supply chains that would be extremely hard to bring to another planet. If anything goes wrong everyone is wiped out. Also hopping from one planet to the next would require the next planet to develop over a long period before they could start the next generation ship.
- Teever 7y agoThere's no proof that an advanced civilization requires a complex supply chain. In fact one of epochs of technological progression that occurs after an industrial revolution could possibly be an industrial simplification where supply chains and manufacturing processes reach a sort of apex in complexity that leads to absolute simplification. It may just be that such a developmental landmark is a prerequisite of a civilization reaching interplanetary scale and it may even be a great filter.
