The Prime Directive is pretty stupid if you think about it. The unspoken thesis is that there is something inherently moral and valuable about "nature" or circumstance or fate, or some other word for the compounded influences that might wipe out a race of sentient lifeforms or might not.But they are happy to break every other natural law they can find, zipping around faster than the "speed of light" (actually the speed of gravity and everything else).Why do you wait to impose your agenda until the monkeys learn to fly? Why do you go ahead and impose your agenda then? Are they secret theists? Shouldn't uplifting life and healing suffering or some other moral impetus be the goal?

>>214937241>The unspoken thesis is that there is something inherently moral and valuable about "nature" or circumstance or fate, or some other word for the compounded influences that might wipe out a race of sentient lifeforms or might not.No, it's to allow cultures to develop naturally without an outside influence accidentally affecting them through cultural influence, distribution of advanced technology, introducing a foreign pathogen or invasive species, or other such things>Why do you wait to impose your agenda until the monkeys learn to fly?Because by then the culture has at the very least learned how to control technology responsibly, and they will be spreading out to the stars anyway, so it's best to give them a warm welcome and a crash course in interstellar relations
>>214937241If you contact every civilization before they've reached the warp travel stage then you're going to end up making them all the same. You'll impose your culture, your beliefs on them. They'll turn out like you. How will you ever be surprised. How will you meet someone unique and different unless you let them cook on their own. Prime directive lets people develop as they're intended to by their own conditions without outside input

>>21493724124th century moralfagging aside, take a pragmatic view. What’s the best case outcome for the Federation? It’s a low tech species, nothing to trade. If there’s some sort of ultra rare mineral or something, stealth beam it into cargo bay three. If it’s cultural output, set up a hidden recon station and transmit the observations to Quark’s so he can work them into his latest Pre-Warp Girls Gone Wild holoprogram Tldr: pre-warp civs have nothing the Federation wants so why bother with them?
>>214937401>affecting them through cultural interference*
Also that one episode where Kirk teaches his cavehomie to shoot and his caveslut cucks him and he doesnt shoot Kirk cause prime directive
I like how Julian is suddenly a relationship and romance expert enough to counsel Miles herewhen in S1 and S2 he's completely incompetent romantically and is like a bumbling schoolboy

>>214937401All of the bad things you speak of could happen after you get warp tech, and obviously cultures that get warp tech still fuck up in all the bad ways you speak of.>>214937404Having all cultures be like your culture is good if your culture is good>>214937477They can be turned into productive members of galactic society. The Federation doesn't need to trade with species that have warp tech. The Federation already has warp tech. Everything else is up for grabs.
the way this show killed off Gowron was gay and sucked
>>214937823It was perfect. He got killed by a weeb because he wasn't Klingon enough.
>>214937803The point is it’s a one way street: the Feds have to feed the civ tech with no guarantee that won’t just flip on them and not want to join their “grand galactic society,” or possibly even be hostility disposed against it. Fucking space mormons, I swear

It was funny seeing Paris look at pregnant B'Elanna and go "whoa fuck that, I'm out"
>>214937954So far so good been doing this since 420chan was a thing
>>214937803>All of the bad things you speak of could happen after you get warp tech, and obviously cultures that get warp tech still fuck up in all the bad ways you speak of.Yeah, but by then they're self sufficient and able to fix their own problems. Having a resource shortage is a lot harder to have once you can just pop down the street to the next star system for some milk
>>214938161I don't understand where you got this idea and I'm pretty sure shit has happened in Star Trek that proves it to be dumb and incorrect>>214937931there's no way this hypothetical contingency is why they think the Prime Directive is the most important rule of them allno more sugar for you dildos
>>214937035So he would be cool with me walking around the enterprise saying "nigger" then?
>>214937476Gowron will breach it
>>214938463I’m just saying you don’t need to resort to moralfagging like some pathetic human when there are logical reasons not to bother. You wouldn’t get it
>>214938472Considering he's a Klingon and not African, he probably wouldn't even know that word.
>>214938463let's put it like this: you have achieved nuclear power. you go to like, subsaharan africa and find a tribe still rubbing sticks together. you give them the tools and knowledge and resources to uplift them to nuclear power overnight. one of two things are going to happen:-they're going to irradiate themselves and everything around them because they did not achieve that level of technology through natural progression, so they didn't learn to respect it or the dangers associated with it-they're going to become reliant on you to make sure they don't irradiate themselves, and you've basically created a subservient slave raceby allowing them to progress naturally to the bronze age, iron age, industrial revolution, etc., they will learn lessons along the way that will (hopefully) help them avoid making mistakes in the future. as it stands right now, africa and the middle east are fucked, because you have technologically advanced neighbors subjugating everyone less advanced than them for resources, and spreading advanced technology like firearms, explosives, cell phones, etc., which these less advanced societies are now using to subjugate their neighbors
>>214938463prime directive has always been an indefensible shit philosophy that they only reference when it’s convenient to the plot. They routinely violate it but other episodes they make it seem like a cardinal sin to contact an uncontacted planet.
Fucking fellow TrekBros and Compadres! Did anyone else get lowkey chills when Captain Pike was speaking to Kirk for the first time about the responsibilities of command and sitting in the Captain's chair?
im filtering lowkey chills to avoid this blatant shilling and i suggest others do the same
Did they ever say whose stupid idea it was to center the ENT finale around Troi and Riker and something that had nothing at all to do with the episode? What a stupid Fucking decision. Did they at least apologize to ENT fans over this?
Kino as Fuck! That viewscreen!
>>214938919>Did they ever say whose stupid idea it was to center the ENT finale around Troi and Riker and something that had nothing at all to do with the episode?I think so, yes. the general idea was that since ratings were low for ENT that they wanted to do a sort of thank you to the fans by referencing the trek everyone loved, which was TNG, not realizing that they went about it in the dumbest way possible>Did they at least apologize to ENT fans over this?Multiple times, which was actually nice. I miss when producers would acknowledge that they fucked up, instead of instantly calling the fanbase racist sexist bigots

>Don't mind me, just the being the best MU character of all time!
>>214939487Would guess at the time people believed the need to mimic all aspects of a bird were paramount, thus the need for a front facing "duck bill" and a downy/fishnet tail, instead of a standard nose cone and tail rudder. I think the Wright flyer actually had the front bill thing too. They also used wing warping as rudder at first.

>>214937241The prime directive exists because before the prime directive they destroyed a lot of civilizations, or put themselves in ridiculous positions like having to mediate or fight wars on behalf of lesser civilizations. The prime directive is a quick, easy reference to remind you dont do these things, its not worth getting involved, it only results in more problems for everyone. But obviously, despite being the prime directive, there is still room for judgment calls when the situation truly warrants it.

>>214939487>>214939533biplanes have two wings, if you take the second wing off of the biplane you have significant issues with the structural stability and rigidity of the remaining wing, all of the force is applied to a much smaller area and that does not go well if all you have to work with is wood and canvasadditionally, while the second wing makes the biplane slower, it also gives a lot more stability in flight, the less rigid a wing is the less sure you can be that the net force generated by moving air over it will be a lift force, instead you are either likely to be pitched wildly into random directions in flight or snap your wings
Fucking shitty ass Discovery Season 4. The stupid ships AI, Zorra, is a woman of course, because she is too emotional to do her fucking job. Figures. Just get the ship out of the fucking black subspace void you dumb cunt. Now she's fucking singing Stormy Weather while Michael Burnham melts from the heat. Season 4 makes season 3 look like entertaining television by comparison. The whole series makes Lower Decks look like Emmy award winning material.

>>214937241it's about non-interventionism and unintended consequences. classical liberal principles. like how whenever the retarded government intervenes in the economy to "help the poor" or "boost employment" or "make housing affordable" it always leads to market imbalances and the long term unintended consequences may make the situation even worse for the people they tried to help. So the Prime Directive is not about knowing what exactly can go wrong with the first contact. It's about acknowledging that no matter how good your intentions are, you may still cause catastrophic things by intervening. Like how UN had a vaccine operation in Congo to vaccinate all the primitive people to "help them" but they reused syringes because they weren't aware of the existence of AIDS yet and as a result HIV spread like wildfire globally, and especially in Africa.
