This doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t doubt that all civilizations that last long enough will inevitably become grabby. That’s obvious. But how would that retroactively affect the past? We are here now, not there then. What will happen in the future cannot causally affect why we are here now.
Edit: oh, it has something to do with anthropics. I hate anthropics. It makes no sense.
