I think the most likely explanation for the Fermi paradox is that civilizations destroy themselves before advancing to the stage where interstellar travel is possible. Look here at earth, all civilizations collapse sooner or later and this means that technology is forgotten or lost. Humans are too likely to engage in conflicts with each other before anything like interstellar travel will happen.
