"Prime Directive"

The Star Trek series popularized the notion of a moral imperative of noninterference observed by intelligent beings exploring space and encountering lesser-developed beings.

My question is this:

Do you think aliens have a "Prime Directive"?

And would you as a space explorer enforce the "Prime Directive"?

I think what you have to realize is that such a "directive" is impossible. Alien societies are probably even more complex than ours, with huge chunks of the population probably having access to interstellar travel. I don't think it would be possible to uniformly enforce such a policy forbidding contact with undeveloped worlds.

Personally, I think that, for the few, and it's my belief it's only one or
two in our galaxy, intelligent species that have interstellar travel
capabilities, they probably do follow something like the prime directive.



You assume that interstellar spaceships would be as common as cars,
which is highly unlikely.

Apart from that, who's to say they would come here?

Think about it, people don't generally go onto restricted property
unless they are allowed.

Or it could be to that there psychology is very different than ours,
and such a notion a prime directive like idea is ingrained into them.

Yes, I think they do. But it is not what you might think from a Star Trek perspective. I think these aliens/visitors are in the process of genetically modifying certain animal species - us - to enhance our already aggressive tendencies. To what end I can only guess, galactic war perhaps? Who knows. So now we have an idea what the probings are all about. They want to stick it to us before we stick it to them. Fascinating......
