      Yeah that’s kinda the point. That Intelligent life will eventually invent a way to eliminate itself is probably an extremely human concept though.

      I’d rather say our filter was/is the carboniferous. We have too much energy for our technology level.

        We have a lot of available energy everywhere when you think about it … it’s not the energy, whether abundantly available or not, around us that is the problem … it’s in how we use and abuse it all.

        The problem is not the things we use, or create, or have access to, the problem is us.
