OK, so what about that whole "We help them ascend" spiel he goes on, talking about how we will "live on in Reaper form" like he considers melting us all down into our genetic material and pumping us into a machine is a good way of saving us. Not organic life as a whole, us specifically.Murmillos said:Killing us to protected the REST OF THE UNIVERSE from potentially more harmful machines.NinjaDeathSlap said:Killing us with machines in order to protect us from machines. Sounds like circular logic to me...
They are not protecting us (as that's why they are killing us off... duh).
Even if you're right, I can think of plenty of better ways to stop organic life fucking itself over with technology. Maybe perhaps just tell us that 'hey, creating machines to do everything for us, them giving them self-awareness might not be such a great idea'. That seems like a pretty sound way to preemptively avoid such an occurrence, rather than just sitting on your hands until we're in too deep, then wiping us out claiming it's for the good of the galaxy.
