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.

@fedora Please Remember the #PrimeDirective
#Fedora for #Freedom ?!
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?
'This'

It's the #PrimeDirective #Federation thing to-do.
Capitulation must pay.
Capitalism must die.
Free Humanity.
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.
