My final post on the matter because some people are just being obtuse and jerking around, but as for this.

Wrong again. They are advanced enough to live and thrive in their environments. We, however, keep having to 'advance' - constantly battling the environment and ourselves, creatures have conquered - with their natural bodies - what took us millenia to work towards. Flying, deep sea exploration, and we still aren't even close to seeing what is an everyday life for them. Things like Sonar and Radar pre-existed human invention. Anything humanity has invented can already be found in the natural environment, yes even explosives.


You don't get it do you? Of course technology replicates what nature does. The point is it replicates what humans can't do naturally! Animals have no need to but the fact remains they don't understand it.


What makes you say that? An eagle knows what flight is, a dog knows what scents are, a whale knows what diving is.
It's not a matter of understanding or comprehension, but fact. They have absolutely no reason to understand it. It's a matter of biology.

And for all this trumpeting of humanity's advancement you seem to forget that the biggest threat to humanity is itself, as a direct result of our advancement.

That's right, we could be first and only species on the planet to consciously wipe ourselves out.

I have no counter to the fact they dont understand our technology while we are able to understand Reapers. That is a good way to define worthyness and equality.

It was nice talking with you. Thank you.

Let me just say this, there are cases where "Ends Justify the Means." Some cases being quite more extreme then others. In the Reaper's case I can't find a way to justify it. Unless...





Every 50,000 years plus some how the whole Universe will explode killing everyone and everything for the rest of time and the only way to stop it is for the Reapers to kill every living thing in the Gallaxy. Thus saveing the Universe and preserving it for other spceies to come, live their lives etc. Then be killed. That would be justifyable.

Or there are other species at the level of the Reapers - or greater - against which the Reapers are preparing. If we are able to defeat the Reapers, then we may enter the extragalactic stage. Whether humans are the predominant Milky Way force or we face these other threats as a coaltion, we may have to face threats that the Reapers did.

reminds me of stargate. defeat gould snake thingies, face the replicators. kill replicators, face ori. kill ori, face wraith. Makes you want to stay on one planet...

They want to kill me and I intend to finish them off first. This is survival, not an ethics contest!

This.
They could be angels. They still want to wipe out all life in the galaxy.
Untill we know more, they are an enemy to be defeated, not an evil to be smited.

Precisely. They might be doing what they must to survive and we're doing what we must to survive. They are the enemy and they are to be defeated if 'we' are to live. I'm not one to sit down and let them massacre us.

P.S. - This is an awesome thread, really.

As a wise batarian once said "Humans are a blight on the galaxy" and must be whiped out. If the rest of the species in the galaxy gets destroyed in the collateral damage, then so be it.

Theory is dependent on the line of thinking that civilizations inherently "rape the environment" and is therefore a load of bullsh-t.

We are just cosmic cattle, seeded by the reapers. The species of the galaxy are just their cattle.

Yeah man. It's true.
If the bible were even remotely based on fact, then man's worst enemy would be OT god and his penchant for genocide.
