Re: "believing that the great filter is more likely to lie in the future means you have to anticipate a higher probability of experiencing doom."

Maybe - if you also believe the great filter is likely to result in THE END OF THE WORLD.

If it is merely a roadblock - similar to the many roadblocks we have seen so far - DOOM doesn't necessarily follow - at least not for a loooong time.
