    What if the planet used to have intelligent life but they blew themselves up accidentally?

      It would be interesting if the answer to the Fermi paradox was that every advanced lifeform accidentally blows themselves up.

        That’s the Great Filter. Basically, no intelligent life can survive past a certain point because they end up offing themselves. Pretty much what we’re about to do ourselves.
