What if there is no technological fix and crucial resources
just run out, where you are?
What if the alternative to planet-hopping for resources is
living like the Indians of Amazonia?
Pay off the blue guys as little as possible to just
get them out of the way, I say, assuming simply taking what you need is not practical.
We have made the sheikhs and tribal leaders of the barbarians
of the Middle East fantastically rich and fantastically powerful in return for access to
resources they knew nothing about and for which they had no use.
Resources they happened to be sitting on.
And how is that working out?
Hollywood, of course, holds the opposite view, as it has
made clear in numerous films, with varying degrees of accusation aimed at 500
years of eurowhite expansion.
Heck, even Tom Cruise is making movies – fun movies – with that
indigenista bias.
The world according to Howard Zinn.
