Fermi's Paradox Is there someone else there? About what the theory of the Great Filter has to tell us: Are we the first, exceptional or are we screwed?
2. We are the first For the Thinkers of Group 1, if the Great Filter is not behind us, the only hope that remains is that the conditions of the universe are recently, for the first time since the Big Bang, reaching a point that would allow us to develop smart life. In that case, we, along with many other species, could be heading for super intelligence, and it just wouldn't have happened yet. We would be here at just the right time to become one of the first super intelligent civilizations.
3. We are screwed (the Great Filter is ahead of us) If we are neither exceptional nor precocious, the thinkers of Group 1 conclude that the Great Filter must be in our future. This would suggest that life periodically evolves to where we are, but that something is preventing life from moving further.
