And when they turn into real, we cannot turn them non-existing. We are lucky because we live in the place between the spiral branch of the Milky Way. If civilization lives in a spiral branch, there are lots of cosmic objects that can hit their planet. One large asteroid can destroy that planet.  Many catastrophes modified evolution on Earth. Catastrophes are important for evolution. Without catastrophes, only a large number of descendants is necessary for species survivability. Mass extinctions and climate changes on Earth caused that species to need big brains and high-level intelligence so that they could find food.  Then the motive is needed to make the technical inventions. That means intelligence alone doesn't mean that species can create technical tools. They need motivation to make those things, that a
