The Great Filters That Explain the Fermi Paradox

Why don’t we see aliens, even in a universe this big? In this episode of Entropy Rising, we break down the Great Filters and how they help explain the Fermi Paradox. The idea is simple but unsettling. Somewhere between dead matter and galaxy spanning civilizations, most life gets stopped. We walk through the full chain. From the origin of life, to complex cells, multicellular organisms, intelligence, and finally technological civilizations that should be detectable. Some filters may be behind us. Others may still be ahead. We also talk about why simple life might be common why intelligence may be rare early filters vs late filters what “loud aliens” actually means whether extinction events help or hurt evolution and what it would mean to find evidence of extinct civilizations This episode is less about fear and more about understanding what the silence of the universe might be telling us. If you enjoy discussions on the Fermi Paradox, future civilizations, astrobiology, and long term survival, this one is for you.
