re: #30 Gus 802

I’m now thinking of David Brin’s Uplift Saga. Where Galactic culture goes back 3 billion years.

In those books humans were fortunate enough to have made it to space before they encounter the Galactics. Had they discovered us now they would have decided to destroy us. Not because they’re evil conquerors but because we’ve been such poor stewards of our planet we’re not fit for civilized company. We’re utter barbarians by their standards.

I’m often not sure I disagree.
