^ oh rubbish terry
come on man, think about it. consider our species, our civilization. technology has always been used belligerently by us, it's true. just look at our weaponry. we discovered atomic power and used it for mass slaughter before discovering a method of escaping our gravity. and since that time we have developed our ability to kill exponentially while hardly wetting the tip of our toe nail on the shores of the cosmic ocean. look the troubles of our world. that path has not served us at all, and to think we could continue down it while also advancing the technology necessary for interstellar space travel before belligerently killing ourselves off is absurd.
talk about anthropomorphism! such science fiction is merely a caricature of our own misgivings about our own species painted on a wider canvas. it's fun to explore but ridiculous to worry about imo.
