content: "Civilization" must protect the greater good. Without derangement of many of your great minds, you would already be a threat. Your Nuclear contests have proven that you have no balance in your society. And in truth - many of our many species have devolved. They cannot be born without surgical or genetic modification and aid. If they lost their technology, found themselves in the wilderness, they would be lost. And of those [and even some of our most impressive specimens] - there is a great love for you. A great hope that your struggles will bear fruit. A great hope that more of you can join us. And yes, we are warlike. But only to defend ourselves. And protecting you from yourselves has proven an onerous task. Those who were initially groomed for power were worthy of it. Their offspring, and the opportunists who married into those dynasties - they are unworthy of existence. We will not make the mistake of hubris, of putting the righteous back in power. They must take it for themselves or fail as a species.
