anyway; about a month or so ago a science channel I subscribed to on youtube did a video about it
now you have to realize 1. we are not even a tier 1 civilization so we wont be able to reach tier 2 projects and tier 3 is only theory
now another bigger answer to the fermi paradox could be answered using our own perspective
take the cold war for example if it went another way we couldve potentially cleared out earth now we can potentially say another advanced race couldve faced similar problems we did before reaching tier and was their own downfall
