Random. Typical.
The statement is contradictory. We can't be both "Low" on a
galactic scale AND the absolute highest in the galaxy.

No. The textbook example of a paradox is the "Grandfather Paradox" in
time travel, where if you go back in time and murder your grandfather
before he had any children, you were never born so you couldn't possibly
go back in time and murder him.
THAT is a paradox.
There is no Fermi "Paradox." There is an assumption that is wrong.
Period.
