Why the hate for energy weapons?

Because, no one needs to own a Veron-T Disruptor

You are aware of that our most powerful planet based laser is call the “laser broom” its designed to evaporate space debris before it collides with iss or satellites

Correct, I have a need to own more than one.

You have a god given right to own as many energy weapons as you want 😤

Honestly, that was the most hilariously stupid line in Star Trek TNG... You'll ban a weapon that vaporizes human flesh, only because it does it painfully.... because if you allow a weapon that vaporizes regular people with less pain, it's less bad...

END RESULT: You're still dust.

Star trek is a silly show. The idea that a society with the ability to literally generate matter from energy finding it immoral to uplift primitives is fucking ridonculous.

Nobody is going to exploit them, what would be the point? It's just a cruelty to leave them in the dirt when you can manufacture fucking infinite everything for them

Excellent point, why would a post-scarcity society want to exploit a primitive society?

Curiousity

Just for funsies, presumably

well as far as star trek goes ya can make everything under the sun with a replicator, still need the raw fuel or what not to power the machines as well, so slave labor is always useful, hence the Cardasian occupation. though also for the Prime Directive point, its not a good idea to give people who don't even know space is a thing potential nukes

You can get fuel from the sun and gas giants, and IIRC their labor was done by robots which don't get tired, don't need food (except the fuel which they're scooping or gathering from the sun,) and don't die

Also, don't give them nukes, just maybe give them vaccines since you know you have an infinite number of them and tell them that certain things will no longer be okay or they'll stomp their feeble governments out

Oh and also tell the natives anywhere you go that nah you aren't gods

Yes because giving the world vaccines worked so well for whites

we now have 7 billion nogs

There is an infinite amount of space mate that's retarded

Who cares how many people there are when you can replicate infinite food

will concede the point on the automated fuel harvest, but if on the outskirts or other such distant area could certainly still use slave labor if ya have no morals against it

>implying food is the only reason not to have 7 billion savages

bruh moment

There is no possible threat any amount of savages could have on a type two civilization

as far as giving them vaccines and what not, i mistook ya and thought ya meant just give them replicators, since they'd need power sources that'd be the potential nukes

Your worries in the galaxy of a multi star spanning civilization are nonexistent

Bodhi

and as for the telling them to not think of you as a god, doesn't matter how often you say it, if you come from beyond conceivable thought with the powers of life and death your gonna be a god

That's fair, but those people wouldn't follow the prime directive anyway

And maybe giving the primitives communicators or some shit to be like "hey federation we're getting enslaved pls to halp" seems like a better decision than just tossing your hands up

I dunno, I think some would still view the futuristic people as gods but i doubt it would catch on like it seems to every other time some fuckwit goes on a jaunt across a primitive society and just doesn't say anything

oh yea there's things to point to for that, since like the voyager episode with the ferangi from TNG, they're worshiped like gods, but IIRC they're only seen as prophets of another god so more like mortal messiahs that should be treated like gods than actual gods

But i feel like if they returned every five years or so and publicly denounced their own churches it'd fall off pretty fast

And even if they did start worshipping them as gods they could just give them commandments like "hey maybe this whole slavery thing isn't such a good idea" or "hey check out the scientific method" or "the first person who proves we aren't gods gets this fancy blowjob machine"

I wish i could do that with my fingers

Just seems like there's about a million better solutions than non interference

can agree, just would have my own line for it at "obtained space travel" b4 that point would stick with the normal prime

I've been reading the Bible

It's pretty based
