3. In the Golden Age we had already built Warminds. We already had solar system patrols ready to engage enemies. I don't see the Golden Age as an age of militarization but its clear it also wasn't a Star Trek utopia. The interesting question is why have these things? The Traveler is said to have shared knowledge with Humanity. Could it have told us of the Darkness?

Do we have any evidence that the Traveller actually spoke with Humanity? Perhaps we learned technologies from the Traveller simply by the fact that the Traveller existed or from creations of the Traveller like the Ghosts? In which case we couldn't have known about the darkness until it was too late.

Minor spoiler if you haven't read this book
The book series The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson reminds me a little bit of what we know about the Traveller sacrificing itself for Humanity. I wonder if we are in a similar situation to that.
