It seems like having a moon this big is pretty rare in our solar system. Could it be a Great Filter?

Pluto and Charon exist.

Yes, it could. I would expect there would be other great filters but the moon certainly helps.

the moon isnt that close though.

Tidal forces being crucial for early life propagation wouldn't surprise me

Probably

Yep, enough space between us and the Moon to fit in all the other planets and the mistake from New Mexico.

Interesting.

Yes, "Rare Moon" is a known solution. "Rare Earth" "Rare Sun" etc are also popular and seem more reasonable because not having a moon isn't nearly as big of a deal as having a surprisingly neato planet which also just so happens to be orbiting a top 10% in size star which is surprisingly calm and in an area with plenty of phosphorus and few gamma ray bursts

in terms of fermi paradox solutions i will also add that we are early. all the ayylmaos are unicellular dipshits at the moment and are going to stay like that for another billion. they literally don't have brains, that's how stupid the aliens are. fuckin morons.

That’s a nice cope, Anon. I’m happy for you.

How about “rare absolutely everything.”

This is another one of those, "sample size of 1" situations, so we really don't know jack about shit.
The Moon, however, is absolutely 100% an amazing benefit to the development, and continued existence, of life on this planet: it helps stabilize our orbit and in turn normalizes our climate, it protects us from the regularity of space debris, it ?might? help sustain plate tectonics and keep our core from cooling down, and it enables our excellent tides that gives another chance for minerals and nutrients to cycle back onto the land instead of getting permanently locked in the ocean.
So without knowing anything else we can at least say at minimum that our large Moon is extremely useful to us.
