In order to advance your species, you have to keep creating variants. Amongst those variants you'll naturally get a few defects (that is, alien schizos)

As technology advances, it becomes easier for a random individual to murder another of his species. You don't have to get close up and stab them with a spiky thing, you can just pull a lever and hit him with a piece of metal and so on.

As destructive power increases with the advance of technology, so does the alien schizo's ability to destroy.

At some point the ability to destroy worlds becomes easily obtainable and the alien schizo in a random rage attack kills everyone.

This is the Great Filter.
