There's been robust debate along these lines for decades and generations, and it's mostly philosophical. Arthur C. Clarke argued that the cultural maturity required for a society to achieve inter-stellar travel should make it all but impossible for them to be so deeply troubled, and while that's impossible to prove without evidence, it 'feels' right to me, based on a lifetime of observation of my own species.

I don't feel this thought experiment was fully thought through.
