Meme format image. The top half has a picture of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s bridge crew with the text “the prime directive forbids us from interfering. We cannot share our technology”. The bottom half has a picture of Stargate’s SG-1 team and the text “all your gods are false. Here, take these guns.”

    Both are right. But, the ‘gods’ already broke the non-interference pattern, and the lesser-developed species has already been impacted. So, at that point, it becomes a judgment call - will further involvement be beneficial or detrimental?

      Don’t forget the “culture” being interfered with is the descendants of humans, forcibly removed from Earth to be slaves in a culture of violence, oppression, and fear. Not exactly the Quimbo of Shoogle VII, who just want to keep hitting people with sticks thinking it’ll cure the plague, or whatever.
