If we don't and can't have restraint, then maybe exterminating ourselves, even if it happens at the cost of all other life on this planet, is actually the right choice. Give some of the other life elsewhere in the universe a chance, in the hopes it might be less awful than we are. Otherwise, we'll inevitably destroy it too, if we continue on this path with our inability to practice restraint even in the face of self-preservation nevermind the preservation of things other than ourselves.
We will destroy everything we encounter, as soon as we achieve the technology levels required to do so, intentionally or unintentionally. A species that is incapable of restraint is not a species that deserves to survive. It is a hideous plague, and its only future is either one of complete annihilation (either by us, or of us) or constant, endless war against the forces trying to prevent it from destroying all it touches. If you are saying we are incapable of restraint, that seems to be an irredeemable flaw to me. Finding new ways for us to survive doesn't solve anything, it only prolongs and expands the suffering we will inflict beyond what we already have done.
