It makes sense to me that, since evolution is all about survival of the fittest, we have selfishness built-in. There are species that benefit from a collective collaboration, but if a few individuals in a colony abuse the colony’s nature they can win big.
I often wonder if the great filter is about a species shrugging off the selfish side of their survival instincts, and learning to trust in the strength of a colony.
The existence of billionaires suggests that we are not there yet. The good willed among us need to learn intolerance for the selfish to prosper long enough to break through the filter.
Three dictators controlling about 11000 nuclear warheads.
Not a doomer, but that looks suspiciously like the Great Filter solution to the Fermi paradox.

That’s not how survival of the fittest works.
