    There are ofcause issues with this proposal. I would suspect these fighter drones to be slightly more expensiv than the self made drones of Urkain nowadays and therefor untrained, unvetted civilists may not hold the disciplin to use them. Gamers do not have to be yound, but often are and those maybe should not be included in warfare either. It bares more markings of a dystopian future in my book, when just anyone is being handed a weapon of war to wreck havoc, even if it is against an enemy. Is that the ideal world? Waking up in the morning, sitting down in front of a monitor or using a brain implant creating a virtual reprensentation in your minds eye of an far away battlefield, to then take lives. Should inflicting death become that casual to civilians or would that reverberate in the pychie of these people and cause violence in society? Just think about soldiers with PTSD trying to find their way back into civil life after leaving the military. Now if pressure amounts one could make an arguement for this, but with AIs becoming more and more part of our lives, i would suspect rather one of these taking controll. With this many colonies and some of the techs later mentioned, i would also expect there soon to be a post scarcity society, which makes monitary insensitves null and void. So yes quite insane.

Not saying our reaper pilots don't have PTSD, it's just a different form of it, usually less severe and life damaging than the vets that saw actual combat. This would be better than sending foot soldiers any day. The system could even have guide rails in place so you can't cause blue on blue damage. Enders Game is pretty much based on this in a way.

Making it easy for civilians to do so, desensitizing the otherwise normal human urge not to do harm to others i would expect to backfire in once own society. I mean just look at the USs murder rates in comparison to other nations, I am pretty sure it has to do with a desensitized populace that just doesn't give a fuck about others. Not talking about the causes for that to be, but the effect. As with many techs, i can see the advantages and i ackowledge that some of what you listed could maybe work to lessen the negativ impacts, but aslong humanity is not in a truely dire situation against overwhelming odds, to me the possible disadvantages can easily outway the advantages. edit: included both of those who addressed me, hopefully yt sends the second guy also a note

The use of race as a designation is not unwarrented however, just overused in my opinion. That is just one example of what I noticed in the general lexical vocab. Otherwise, it was a highly entertaining & thought provoking narrative. Kudos to the author!

    The story of a species going from a single world orbiting a small star in a backwater part of a galactic area few visit, and then following them from that, to growing into a military power respected locally, until they become the defacto police of that area of space, then into the seat of power for the whole of the galaxy, bringing together all races in a way to make the galaxy safer, and yet more interesting. Finally, to hope the void between galaxies, and now...to take the stars themselves apart, and causing the universe to tremble in their wake. To end, a quote for a betentacled horror from beyond the stars. Some beings might look out at the near infinity of the universe with awe and wonder and be humbled by how insignificant they are.

    YT bots are strange. I follow a demonetized channel that was likely hit by Russian bots. YT is so broken it once banned a channel for showing a fragment of a pic of Michaelangelo's David and calling it adult content.

    It was state sponsored. Like when France, England, Spain and others sponsored pirates, they were called privateers, to attack each other's merchant vessels during the colonization of the America's. Or like when current Gov'ts sponsor PMCs to fight in conflicts globally as proxy to further thier own goals.

    Do NOT think so provincially when looking at ethics, morality, and empathy. That is what the writer is making a point how easy it would be to misunderstand or hard it would be to empathize with another society, species; or even another life form from another planet. Humans, and specifically American’s put quite a bit of resources and value to our mostly helpless infants. A woman may die having one child; so the risks and resources required are quite high. Then Imagine, a species that lays millions of eggs and the children who in nature would die in mass and with technology are selected for survival and occupation. But they could live indefinitely like trees or reptiles. They may value their 2,000 year old helpless elder more than a million infants. Their morality and war cry could be having an exposed mouth part and eating in public; but perfectly fine with eating their own young. Empathy is understanding the values and feelings of someone different than you.

    There was an episode of The Outer Limits where the aliens got very angry that a transporter accident left a woman alive at the beam out site instead of killing her. Their ethics require that two people can't be around and so when the transporter makes a copy at the destination, the original is supposed to be killed. I wonder if they would put a hit on identical twins.

    There are species that only start caring for their young once they've reached a certain age. These would let the newly born offspring die in the thousands, but accept them once the young have survived to a growth stage, at which point the survivors can reasonably be expected to reach adulthood and procreate. That usually only happens in races that have thousands of offspring. Fish often lay eggs somewhere, males spread their sperm on them and once the young hatch those same mother fish that defended the eggs might just eat some of their offspring - occasionally a lot - because they're hungry. They won't hesitate to eat them for a while either, until the offspring is big enough to become part of a school or at least live using the same strategies as the grown ones. Only then the older ones recognise the offspring as part of the same species. Fun fact - do not read unless you want to hate me for giving this info: biologically and logically the only good explanation for nemo's siblings' death is that their mother ate them all. Clown fish do that.

    I love this type of fiction so often the trip is how terrible awful cruel and twisted mankind is and …well it’s not all a lie. Some times. Through the eyes of a stranger. We might imagine a way in which they see the best of us and what we strive to be. They don’t remember all our scraped knees and stuttered lines. But instead they see us. At our best and for a moment judge us the way we want the universe to see us. I think that’s why there are so many like this. Why it shines as a true and resonate theme. Believe. If we endure the trials. One day we will ascend to the heavens and they shall be in awe of us.
