You're talking about something being a disaster by our lights, but not a filter that prevents something from Earth colonizing the galaxy. It's confusing to keep using the term 'filter' for concerns about the composition of a future colonizing civilization/the fate of humanity rather than discussion of the Fermi paradox.
