It's always the executive level overriding the public, actual democratic vote. Bad faith actors and infiltrated vote manipulators need to be culled when found. This is what happens when they are left alone.
The person you're responding to is a supporter of authoritarians and has condoned fascism in their replies. They also virulently oppose any view points, entertaining no other ideas except singular support for one and only one point of view. They are awful and clearly a troll on a mission.
Your example of a national equivalent of a "Prime Directive" ignores the difference between global politics and extraterrestrial development. Global politics based around isolation inevitably falls due to an inability to deal with some crisis that comes along. They will be a source of short term refugees and long term trade opportunities as whatever nation rebuilds seeks contact with its neighbors.
A population that has no chance of leaving the planet will have to deal with the crisis or perish. Star Trek never talks about the planets that they watch fall into chaos or extinction. It also shows the
Isolationist policies never work. It always turns inward and aggressive, like feudal Japan or post-Tito Albania. Or North Korea now. All other nations will have to deal with the remains of a fallen country so it makes sense to get ahead of the problem and inject some responsibility.
This is where gentrification and appropriation come in. A burrito has already been branded a "wrap". A taco is one racist ruling away from being a hotdog.
Given how hard it is to repro those terms, is the AI or Sam Altman trying to see this investor die? Seems to easily inject ideas into the softened target.
In the end it looks like Paramount gave money and favor to a pedophile and one of those favors was silencing criticism of the pedophile. Why does Paramount side with pedophiles?
America taught us relative measurement helps understand abstract concepts like linear time.
The 2 thousand years between now and Cleopatra is roughly the same amount of time between Cleopatra and the building of those pyramids. The pyramids of Egypt are super old.
Humans (homo sapiens) have been around for 20,000 times longer than the pyramids. Other humans and near homo, like Neanderthals and Denisovans, were even earlier. We go back as a recognizable non-monkey a few million years.
That doesn't make sense. They want me to believe that their techniques work, but they don't actually work, so the broad shift in global politics in the digital age -which has never happened before in history like this - is just a natural thing? You aren't good at what you're trying to do.
