We have the potential for greatness. If only we could somehow tame the darker aspects of humans we would actually deserve a fate like this and probably be able to do it (or at least that's my wishful thinking).
But yeah diversification at least 100 light years around in neighboring systems would greatly increase our chances of survival any kind of random brutal event (unless one of our neighbors goes supernova). It will be more of a question of survival rather than 'do we want to colonize that other system'
