Yes, it seems that the Fermi paradox implies that other civs progress beyond what we consider signs of intelligent life. The great filter seems less likely as we get close to colonizing other planets, and then other solar systems.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoI question your use of "implies" there. It implies no such thing. What you suggest is one possible answer, nothing more.
- cogman10 5y agoYup, to me it implies a darker problem, that FLT is something that can't be surpassed. All civs might advance to that understanding and decide to maybe just occupy nearby solar systems and nothing more. We may not talk to them simply because it's both incredibly expensive and will yield nothing more than "Yup, we're stuck here, so are you".
