Terrible idea? How so? I mean, I know that humans aren't exactly without flaws, but it's actually in their best interest to behave and try to learn from adastrians and the rest of siblings, since their technology is far more advanced than ours, which would further the Earth's knowledge vastly. Even from a selfish point of view, it's good for humans, so I think they would behave, if only because it's in their best interest. And, well, there would be some resistance, people like Cato exist, but I doubt that they would get much attention after seeing all the things humans could learn, I mean, only the pills that extend the lifespan would be enough to justify a friendship between the humans and the rest of the siblings, even to the most selfish and proud of humans.
Well, I can't really say that's not a posibility. We are really a proudful species, sometimes to the point where we become arrogant. At first, I thought about the parental devices as being impossible to reproduce, after all, their abilities are simply too good to believe, but now that I think about it, there was a point in the story where they said that Khemians were close to replicate the travel methods that the parents entrusted the siblings, so I guess it's not actually that far-fetched. Also, I think there are two ways that could go that, I mean, humans could be so sick of people in charge that they might give adastrians and other siblings the chance and help them overthrow the rulers, or would be against a new ruler even though this one might come with benefits in the long run. Also, now that you say it, that might be why the Earth was once contacted but we lost contact. Also, I wonder if we would have the materials to replicate the parental devices, after all, we've been using the resources on earth for millenia and we haven't come across with things that could harness that power, so, maybe in planets like Khemia and Adastra they have materials we can't even dream of, which would make our try to replicate the parental devices fail, which would be the best way to ensure that bleak future you talk about not happen. I think that would be the only way to prevent humans from creating mass destruction weapons in case they would join the Galaxias. That or even the fact that parents could withdraw their help to us in case we went crazy with it, like it happened to Adastra at the start of the story, where they were left alone from the rest of the civilizations due to their actions, so, I think they might have some ways to stop us humans if we went on that route, like isolating our planet once again. But being honest, looking to the world how it is right now, I think we need the Galaxias desperately, if only because of that, we need to behave if the chance comes knocking at our door.
I'm not quite sure as if the parents should be trusted all that much, I mean, we've seen how they are, and I feel like they are not without some dark motives, but this is just a theory I have, so, I kinda feel like, I wouldn't trust the parents, but rather the siblings. After all, I think of the parents much like a ruthless god-like creature, while the siblings are more human-like, in the sense of their ethics, like, yeah, there are some that do bad things, but their reasons can be understood and they can be persuaded, but the parents, they are an entity that feels like they don't care about individual lives, as they would see them as sacrifices worth making for the good of all, which is something that makes me be wary of them, because sometimes, for the collective good, it could happen that what gets sacrificed is the well-being of all the individuals that are part of that collective, turning into a tirany. I mean, they were able to torture a human being and make his loved one see how they did only because it was the easier way to convince Amicus.
And about the thing about uniting under one flag, it kinda makes sense being inside of the Galaxias, but I think in Adastra there was some separation between the places, like, therewere different cities that were ruled by different groups, so, I'm not exactly sure their way of ruling, like, yeah, we know there is an emperor, but not the exact way their politics work in all their aspects, since also, we know how they acted in an exceptional moment where they had no emperor, so I don't know how it would go or if they would change the way the planet works, since it could be similar to the UE thing, like, there are different countries with their own leaders and democratic regimes. Also, if in the end, there had to be a union of the entire world, I think the Earthlings sounds cool to me to call the citizens.
Also, I wonder how things work inside the Galaxias, like, we know the parents, sibling, children thing, but apart from the basics, not much. Like, they have a democratic system? Is it more like a hierarchy thing? How do they decide the way they are going to act as a group? This type of things sound so interesting. I hope we get to see it in Khemia
Also, I don't think we would start as siblings, I mean, even if it was just to avoid that, there would be like an agreement with at least one of the planets to act like the Earth was still being raised to keep that from happening. I mean, I can imagine that raising a civilization sounds like good reputation inside the Galaxias, so the planet would comply and try to keep the facade. Also, I'm sure the Adastrians would like that to get their fame of being children-enslavers away, they would accept, or maybe the Khemians, since they seemed to be quite egalitarians (or at least I hope so, because the part where Neferu was drunk, and started acting like he looked down on the main character felt weird to me, I don't know how much was because of the wine and how much was actually true, since maybe there's some facade of egalitarism, while they have some god complex, which wouldn't surprise me since they are based on the ancient Egypt civilization, and pharaohs were thought to be chosen by the gods themselves).
Oh, ok, even though, I feel like I'm gonna get away from internet for a while, since I don't want to get spoiled about anything from Khemia, and I won't be able to play it soon. That wasn't a big spoiler, but I guess I prefer to protect myself from any spoiler. And about that, I think on a way, it kinda makes sense, but also, even if not nations, even in Adastra there were different cities that were run by different people, even though in the end, they all were under the emperor, there was a need for fragmentation to rule it better, and I guess that's something that is bound to happen with a nation that is too big to handle it, and it can lead to chaos quite easily. It can be weird, but I feel it makes sense from a practical perspective, but maybe I'm a little bit blinded by my vision of the present, after all, it is said that the future shapes the way we think about how the future will be, I mean, in the past, they thought that the future was a writing machine that typed a 10% faster.
