Why does everyone take for granted that if FTL drive was invented everybody would instantly start colonizing everything like crazy?
People want to improve their lives. Why would anyone willingly move to some random shithole colony in the middle of nowhere? Yes there are weirdos who would do it but they are a tiny, TINY minority. Earth already has so much empty land nobody wants to live in.
This entire idea of massive interstellar empires is simply complete bullshit. Solar system could easily house a trillion people even without transhumanism crap like VR worlds. While Earth's population is going to plateau around 10 billion if not earlier. Civilizations stick to their own solar systems. This is the simplest answer to Fermi Paradox.
