I think that it's instructive that peoples own planetary history and their ideas -of it- decide whether or not they agree with the directive. A theme explored in the temporal directive.
Perhaps we truly do need to experience global starvation, for example..in order to come to a more thoughtful and less hungry vision of the future. Maybe that misery is the difference making fact. That we learn to be our best by avoiding our worst, and our worst must be a thing to refer to in order for that to be the case.
Sci fi rocks.
We just passed the eugenics war phase of the star trek timeline. No eugenics wars. Score.
Quote:The Temporal Prime Directive was mentioned by Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 2368. Picard postulated that the existence of such a directive might be what was preventing a traveler from the future from aiding him to avert the destruction of Penthara IV.
