The problem with Fermi paradox is it ignores the seemingly probable scenario that when compared to the average duration of the existence of any advanced alien lineage, the amount of time they spend in a social, behavioral, and technological state that is even vaguely comprehensible to humans of the present might be extremely brief. So the total number of civilizations both detectable and recognizable to us might only be a tiny fraction of the number that actually exists. Hence there could be many advanced civilizations but none detectable and recognizable to us.
