'''The Concept of "The Great Filter"''': Analyzing "The Wall." (See Article 689). The "Idea" that there is a **"Developmental Step"** (e.g. 'Origin of Life' or 'Nuclear War') that is **"Impossible"** for "Most Civilizations" to "Cross." If we "Find" "Life" on "Mars," it means the "Filter" is **"Ahead of Us"** (Our Destruction). "Finding" "No Life" is **"Good News."**
