Would human intelligence be considered a possible evolutionary dead end? Dumb as a rock dinosaurs reigned for millions of years....modern humans have been her for 10k years and we are in the verge of destroying our planet and eliminating humans as a species.
I think that's ultimately the answer to the Fermi paradox: it is simply the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself
The answer to the Fermi paradox is denial.
We have mountains of evidence for alien craft flying around our atmosphere. The reason that “the aliens are nowhere to be found” is it’s just too terrifying to think there’s an advanced intelligence this close to us. It’s too much to deal with, so we ignore it.

You can go on youtube and search for ufo footage. You’ll find thousands of high definition videos.
If you claim those are faked, provide me with evidence of one of those videos being faked, or even that one can be faked.
