#primedirective — Public Fediverse posts

This week on my #scifi #writing #podcast I continue my exploration of #TheCulture with a comparison of Contact with the Federation of #StarTrek and their #PrimeDirective. Spoiler: They're almost completely opposite.

The question of the #PrimeDirective always boils down to one choice, and one only: “will this action be mistaken for the divine or supernatural?”

It’s the “maybes” that make for a great narrative, but don’t help much with the lessons to take away

'We have been lurking in cloaked ships out by Jupiter for approximately seventy five earth years, watching.'

That long huh?

'Yes. We felt that you would... should be able to figure your problems out and come together as a species. Then we would make oursleves known and give you #fusion, #hoverboards and #FTL travel.'

Ah, like the #PrimeDirective from #StarTrek.

'Yes.'

So what changed, why now?

Civilisations by definition plunder and exploit their natural habitat and are careless toward sustainability of the very environment their longterm survival depends upon.

On the other hand, "savages" (latin: people of the woods) live in harmony and balance as integral part of their worlds, making them ideal candidates for eon long existences and survival.

So, a more intriguing question is, would any of these "savagations" want anything at all to do with us? And would we not be morally obligated to respect their equilibrium ... including the idea that there are others beside them.

Where is the #NobleModern, when we have chemical, bio, nuclear to autonomous hunter drones, theft of IP, medical data, purges, and an ecocide race? Ever fewer indigenous people live a sustainable existence as have no rights to evolve in their own time. All thanks to fascist cults race to the bottom by giving their capital to psychopathic nihilists (urgently require healthcare for their corrupted minds) running, governments, corporations and religions. #FascistTechSavages #PrimeDirective #TheFederation #EvolutionaryRights #CivilRights

...or indeed, buying their advanced space weapons and shipping them back here. 🙂

And as well as the sex tourists and grifters, there will be well meaning but unwittingly devastating individuals who wish to abandon the modern and live as they do, the Prime Directive must be enforced!

#Sentinelese #PrimeDirective

If the Galactic Federation weren't zapping every sex tourist and grifter the Galaxy trying to get to us imagine how even more fucked we would be!

(Seriously though, Space is big and that's why They aren't here. It's VERY big)

#FermiParadox #Sentinelese #PrimeDirective

Please spare the Sentinelese from the existential horror of Contact

Enforce the Prime Directive with lethality!

#Sentinelese #PrimeDirective

I don't know how they enforced the Prime Directive in Star Trek where starships don't seem hard to come by but maybe here on Earth we could enforce it...lethally?
At least for 'Influencers' .....who are prime 'B' Ark material and won't be missed....

#Sentinelese #PrimeDirective

DIstracted by side boob and butt cheek on another paradise planet, young Wesley accidentally breaks a law and is to be put to death.

Is ignorance of the law a defense? Wouldn’t the #PrimeDirective stop us from visiting this planet? Isn't the injustice that we don't provide #healthcare to all people as a right and not that Mario's brother was radicalized by dealing with the US heath "care" system? Murder is wrong, and a crime -- what of justice?

@argv_minus_one that episode is an interesting exploration of the shades of grey in the #PrimeDirective. A small section of the population know about Starfleet. Now Pike chooses to reveal the Enterprise and its technology to everyone in an effort to prevent Armageddon. Later we see a concerted effort to understand the Enterprise school children putting up drawings of the ship. This could lead to religious fervour, with the ship as an icon and Pike as the prophet/Messiah. This cultural pollution could itself lead to a different Armageddon.

Was Pike right to very visibly but earnestly interfere at the tipping point? Arguably yes.

I'd really like to see that planet revisited.

#Putin puppet #DonaldTrump has one #PrimeDirective from his #Russian master: #AmericanCarnage.

#Trump is getting desperate as the #2024election approaches and prison beckons. He is now blowing his ‘dog whistle’ as loud as possible calling for a #purge by #WhiteNationalists. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-purge-police-rough-violent-day-rcna173295

Our most elaborate, deepest-diving, most interesting video essay so far is Trekspertise's 'Rethinking The Prime Directive.'

It is a complete re-examination of #startrek's most important rule and how that rule might be unfortunately based on some old school, racist philosophies.

@Fischblog Habe heute ein paar Facebook Kommentare gelesen, bin jetzt erst recht deprimiert. Aber wenigstens weiß ich jetzt, warum uns keine Aliens kontaktieren #PrimeDirective.

Was hat die #primedirective

"Unabhängig davon, was wir herausfinden, müssen wir verstehen und wirklich glauben, dass jeder das Beste getan hat, was er mit seinem damaligen Wissen, seinen Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten, den verfügbaren Ressourcen und der gegebenen Situation tun konnte."

Mit der Form eines politischen Diskurses zu tun?
Viel, wir wären viel weiter, wenn es beim Diskurs um den Austausch von Ansichten ginge und nicht wie wir es aus der Opposition sehen um das Zuschieben von Schuld

As much as I agree with and respect #Starfleet's #PrimeDirective, the ending of #StarTrekENT's "Cogenitor" feels utterly wrong. After Lal's death in "The Measure Of A Man" and Soren's conversion therapy in "The Outcast" (both #StarTrekTNG), I hoped for a queer episode that didn't follow the #BuryYourGays trope. I have been disappointed.
