I somewhat prefer the idea that we destroy ourselves instead of the rest of the universe.

We're actually even way more insignificant than that. If the scale of the sun was a grapefruit our entire planet would be the size of a the ball in a ballpoint pen. This is on display at a park in Washington, DC. We're not even ants in our own solar system.

I hope there's another intelligent lifeform out there, so far beyond us that we can't possibly ever catch up to their technology, that will stop us before we destroy any other planets.

If any lifeform out there has battered us in terms of technology, I have some bad news for you as to how they would have built that technology.
