"The Culture was every single individual and machine in it, not one thing. Just as it could not imprison itself with laws, impoverish itself with money or misguide itself with leaders, so it would not misrepresent itself with signs."

@hankgreen.bsky.social Is "The Culture vs The Ekumen as Models for Humanity's Future" discussion still on track?
Added some points:
The Culture and the Minds that run the Culture justify their actions on other civs as backed by Mind-level statistics that show them having a positive effect.
