At work.
We may be living through one of the answers to the 'Fermy Paradox'.
As in we don't see other advanced civilizations because they all 'Over tech' themselves into extinction.
The excesses of their development, polutant emissions, environment degredation/destruction, resource depletion and the conflicts to aquire the still needed dwindling items...
All lead to the inteligences simply wiping themselves out before they can get off their rocks.
*Assuming they aren't stuck at the bottom of a gravity well too deep to get out of.
