I have just the two trivial observations to make about the Fermi Paradox.

It is not a paradox, it is a question.
It is not Fermi's, presumably there have been people posing this question for at least 100 years, maybe 1,000 years.

Let's define a technological civilisation as one that has discovered and put into use radio or its equivalent. Before much longer it has discovered the means to end all life on its planet. On Earth the cost of assembling such devices is getting cheaper such that a tin-pot dictator of a country the size of The Isle Of Man could order the creation of such a device, mostly made from 'innocent' materials. He carries around in his pocket the triggering device. He then gets aids and cancer to an incurable degree. So he makes his mind up that "When I am about to go, we are all going".

This could have happened countless times in 13.8 billion years 'way out there'.

So, that's the F̶e̶r̶m̶i̶ ̶P̶a̶r̶a̶d̶o̶x̶ question answered.
