It may depend on the rate they get to that point. Add in a dense energy source that’s suddenly available and the rise of tech may be lethal. Perhaps the lucky ones don’t have something like petroleum so their species matures long before they ruin their world.

Back up…dude with a 10th grade level understanding of biology and chemistry coming through with a question…
So carbon-based life forms can, under the right circumstances, decompose into long chains of hydrocarbons like Petroleum.
Does that mean silicon-based life forms under the right circumstances would break down into hydrosilicates like caulk?
