It took over all the tech on the planet in a few minutes and sent a message across the galaxy to the descendants of the human race. Then it settled down to wait while we rebuilt civilization and started surveying everything in the sky while it waited.

      My Great Granddad Edward Gordon Geddes served in the 2NZEF WW2 in the 18th armoured battalion upon Greece, Crete, Nth Africa and Italy campaigns. I'm not 100% certain if he crewed a Sherman or was infantry support nevertheless he definitely saw and did some horrible shit yet he survived where others did not and returned to Napier, New Zealand. A Sherman in space, crewed by a Geddes man, that would be cool. Lest we forget.

      The problem I have with this take on that story premise is how they take it to an extreme. Virtually all world leaders today know better than to negotiate with terrorists as it sets a precedent. Similarly, human leaders should've known better than to do even half the things they did as it showed weakness. *And then they offer the Hadzai almost every concession possible aside from the entire cluster of habitable worlds?!* This, despite them having no legitimate claim?! That's absolutely absurd!

    • @XpaceTrue

      The way I see it, the Galactic Council - or whatever - has no *real* power. It's just a loose collection of empires tied together with empty promises, laws and treaties that do not seem to have any way to be *enforced* or *penalized* when broken. Otherwise, instead of just *arbitrate,* the Council would take *a side* in conflicts like this and enforce galactic law, either preventing conflicts or at least ending them. The Hadzai were bullies wearing the trappings of a civilized people.

    I think the human diplomat who said ‘humanity’s soul would be damaged’ is fundamentally wrong.
    The damage is in rejecting violence. In being so desperate for peace that you’d give as much as they offer. - as is with rejection and desperation with anything.
    Humanity would be spiritually healed by war, then damaged, then healed with another. Like a newtons cradle losing energy with each time, until there’s a balance of war and peace, aggression and kindness.
    And humanity here decided to rocket the first hit with force due to their pacifism.
    Edit: well it seems the author got that right it seems. Made the comment at the time, not after watching the whole video.

    • @_aWiseMan

      The one part I think the author really didn't get right is the "war never brings development only death and destruction to both sides part" because that's simply not true. Humanity develops most under conflict. And I do think the author may have showed that when the fourth segment kicked off and showed the results on the economy and the war bonds and preparation. With taxes and inflation going back to normal as quickly as they went to crap. But there's more to it than that. Humans aren't just benefited by conflict they thrive in it. Crave it like a loaded gun. Humanity is conflict personified. Everything part of us is in conflict to our immune system, to our drive, and to our response to danger or emergency. Even our fight or flight response itself is conflictin. And if you don't choose. Well nature take it's course and Darwin is proven right again. Most of our modern technology would not be here with our conflict. Sonar wouldn't exis. Modern computers wouldn't exist. Even vehicles were greatly advanced by war. It feels the industrial complex and leads to new revelations. Before we had even a decent computer we had the atom bomb. The man the Noble prize was named after invented dynamite. And we would never have reached space without the competition during the cold war and the space war that resulted. Even the periodic table would be sufficiently smaller without war. Because conflict makes competition and war makes good men and good men make the peace. Our drive and will is strongest when we are fighting for it. And our competitive spirit drives innovation like no other. We wish to be better than the rest and that leads us to become better. Or fall farther down the ladder of life. That is our form of natural selection itself. survival of the fittest, the one with the the most wit, grit, and shit, Wins. And get better because of it. Even the emperor in the story himself is an example of this. Only through the wars effects and his drive to end it did he make warp travel and win the war. He wished for peace and for a better future so he took it himself. And gave it to his people.

      Also, it's silly that the transport did *not* have energy shields, despite them *wearing* personal energy shields. As they fled, Hadzai towers transformed into anti-aircraft mass drivers? And their special military procedure or foresight for dealing with holes punched in their un-shielded transport was literally to grab some steel plates and *WEILD* them to hopefully make them airtight?! They have FTL, true stealth and energy shields, but no way to quickly seal a hole besides *weilding?*
