>those limits may fall short of magicing/smarting away the obstacles to colonizing space. We have no idea what that limit is so it seems crazy to make any assumptions about where it is. At minimum it lies above Human Intelligence and even imagining what a civilization could do with millions of beings only as intelligent as say John von Neumann is frightening. >those limits may fall short of magicing/smarting away the obstacles to colonizing space. We can basically already colonize our Solar System with current tech. You don't need FTL or anything close to that to eventually colonize the entire Galaxy.
