What if all sufficiently intelligent civilizations eventually discover how to harness a force of the universe analogous to nuclear power but orders of magnitude more powerful, to the extent that all such civilizations necessarily destroy themselves due to irresponsibility and the difficulty of handling this power?

Then they'd be destroyed.

wouldn't it be a merry christmas?
