That's how lifeforms usually work. Aggressors win the petri dish, peacniks get eaten.
And at a certain level of technology, the galaxy itself starts to look like a petri dish . . .
That seems rather unfortunate. I wonder if this behavior is what ultimately keeps us in the petri dish, rather than growing beyond it (whatever that might be)?
