<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Seems like, as-is, you’re more safe with a handful of them around. The IA already exists, so a big reset won’t do much about that, and by restarting the timeline, you just end up creating more. Sorta self-defeating, isn’t it?

The IA is comprised of an idea that started here, and evolved without them. While it is true they have roots in ideas formulated amongst these folks, there are none left. Despite the myths that they were hidden and sprinkles amongst the population. The only ones that remain in that society are known.
*Folds my arms behind my back*
And to the second point, it would be self defeating if suppression of conquest was my only goal. But my goal isn’t to simply leave this universe dead for the safety of everyone. If they can grow to abandon the idea of manifest destiny, they can live amongst greater Existence peacefully, and even be a boon to it rather than harm it.
