Googling found me this commentary
on Robin Hanson's "Burning the Cosmic Commons: Evolutionary Strategies for Interstellar Colonization".
I sometime wonder why people think this outcome is bad. It is what we will probably get - unless we manage to eliminate competetion and overrule natural selection. In that case, we will still probably get something very similar - since expansion is probably the best way to defend yourself against aliens.
Mind if I ask, but, as opposed to considering it good ?
Indeed. Successfully colonising space is conventionally part of our Glorious Future.
