[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [qb] [QUOTE]their decision dooms the human race to more than a thousand centuries of hunter-gathering leading to gradual cultivation before anything resembling a worthwhile civilisation develops[/QUOTE]Isn't that just a value judgment? Who are you to say that hunter-gatherer society isn't "worthwhile"? What makes industrial society any more "worthwhile"? Do you think whatever happiness you have stems from how many books are in the local library or how much math your civilization knows or how many Btus of energy it uses? If technology isn't the problem, it's not the solution either; it's just a thing. So I guess what you mean by "worthwhile" has something to do with art or culture, but it's a misunderstanding to think that hunter-gatherers don't have art or culture - and I'm sure it's quite worthwhile to them. [/qb][/QUOTE]I have to agree with him Lee. As for the fact that whatever civilisation they made eventually collapsed, well duh, doesn't every system eventually come to it's end? From eco-systems to whole galaxies, everything has it's time and then goes, the alternative is an eternity of stagnation, which is exactly the cycle that the Kobolians (new word!) were locked into. Still, some of their memory survives in some form since we've all heard of Apollo and Athena and the names of the constellations and of Starbuck, the ancient God of coffee and not smoking! [QUOTE]I thought it was odd the way Cavil suddenly just shot himself. What was the point of that, and why did he do it?[/QUOTE]One of the final five were dead and the secret to resurrection with her (and good riddance.) His options were either die of old age, get killed by someone else or eat a bullet. [/QB][/QUOTE]
