Acxtually Supports Fermi's Paradox

I think He's right about the singularity. The flawed assumption is that someone else has already reached our level of technology. Sure advanced technology potentially provides a sheild against most cosmic disasters we can imagine. You have to evolve intelligence then technology to surviove them though. If the frequency of evolution of intelligence is low compared to the frequency of cosmic dissasters then they still explain Fermi's paradox. I'm sure there's intelligence elsewhere in the universe, but I doubt very much it exists elsewhere in our galaxy at least in a form capable of technology.

I think Fermi's paradox is extremely well founded in the way natural systems work. Animals evolve or expand their habitat or they loose out to those that do or changes in environment.

Mark
