My favourite solution for the Fermi paradox is that we're a remote and purposefully uncontacted civilisation, monitored from a distance by the intergalactic equivalent of FUNAI.
My favorite is that it isn't a paradox. They have been in contact with the ants for thousands of years and the collaboration has been very fruitful. Silly of us to think we are the most interesting thing on a whole planet of living things and in particular silly to think we are more interesting and advanced than the ants.
