I can see why we've never come across intelligent alien lifeforms yet. A civilization destroys itself from environmental and societal deterioration before they can achieve interstellar conquest. It's safe to say that our own real world will suffer the same fate: we'll get no farther than the moon or Mars before an apocalypse reverts us to a pseudo-primitive lifestyle, and the rest of the universe remains a decoration in the sky.
