I imagine most civilizations in this universe will blow themselves up relatively quickly, that is to say, destroy the conditions that allowed them to flourish. If they are smart they last longer. If they are really smart they will devise a way to escape their planet in time before the big asteroid destroys their planet or they blow themselves up. I think evolution will determine which civilizations will survive. I fear ours has too many flaws to make it eventually..
