We make a lot of assumptions in such projections. I doubt very
much that many highly advanced species continue to value
reproduction so endlessly as to rule the visible universe. I
doubt that many fail to outgrow such a power trip fantasy. I
bet that most of those with enough wisdom to actually survive
the experience of very high technology find that there are other
things of higher value than expanding endlessly and attempting
to rule everything.
