Every Civilization May Be Destined to Destroy Itself

Every Civilization May Be Destined to Destroy Itself

There may come a moment every civilization reaches...
The moment it becomes powerful enough to destroy itself.

In this episode, we explore one of the most unsettling ideas in modern science: what if the reason we don't see advanced alien civilizations isn't because they never existed... but because none of them survived?

Using the Kardashev Scale as a starting point, we examine how civilizations grow, how they harness energy, and why greater technological power may also bring greater existential risk.

Along the way, we explore the Fermi Paradox, the Great Filter, Dyson Spheres, artificial intelligence, nuclear weapons, and the possibility that intelligence itself may contain the seeds of its own destruction.

If advanced civilizations have risen throughout the universe...
What happened to them?
And more importantly...
Could humanity be approaching the very same crossroads?
