Our filter is ..... ourselves

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

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

That's one filter.

Yep. Our only real lasting legacy will be inventing space sharks

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.
