What is the best explanation to the Fermi Paradox?

The solution to Fermi Paradox's great filter question is that the greater solar system is all inside a petri dish

If they don’t find a way to overcome the speed of light I couldn’t imagine a way for them to build an interstellar civilization

I suspect intelligent life starts traversing space only as solar-powered mind uploads that are hard to detect. Is that self-destruction?

hard steps:
1. getting a planet which is sufficiently massive to retain hydrogen for billions of years, but has a thin enough atmosphere for photosynthesis (we lucked out with the Theia impact shedding most of Earth's early atmosphere), and orbits at a reasonable distance from a stable star.
2. abiogenesis
3. eukaryotes
4. multicellularity
5. evolving enough intelligence to invent radio and build big transmitters before contraception/welfare/medicine induced dysgenics or nukes destroy that capability.

We are living in a simulation; intelligent life is evolutionary common, but not in here.

1st option but also interstellar travel is much more difficult than the "Fermi" paradox scenario expects.
