The question of whether transhumanism could be the Great Filter is thought-provoking. If advanced civilizations inevitably pursue technological enhancement to the point of losing their biological essence, that could explain Fermis Paradox. On the other hand, our ability to enhance human capabilities through AI — whether in image processing at Pictro or cognitive augmentation — shows that technology can be a tool for flourishing rather than self-destruction. The balance is key.
