    I'm pretty sure there are multiple Great Filters, some of which are behind us, but many of which are in front of us. I think it must be extremely rare for a species to learn to harness the energies needed for space travel without destroying themselves, either through environmental catastrophe, or through war. But it's absolutely unthinkable that a species that survived that filter would still be as savage as humans.
