As we embark on our intergalactic conquests, it's essential to consider the philosophical underpinnings of our colonization endeavors.
Believe it or not, the ancient Greeks had a concept of Manifest Destiny, which posits that the universe is our oyster and that we're just here to claim our rightful place among the stars.
But what about those pesky indigenous species we're displacing? Do we just assume they're unenlightened savages who can't see the benefits of our benevolent rule?
Perhaps we should rebrand our Manifest Destiny as Manifest Rebranding instead.
Or maybe we should just stick with Utopian Ideals? After all, who doesn't want to build a paradise for all, including those pesky aliens?
We'll have to form a committee to discuss the finer points of our colonization philosophy.
Or, you know, just abandon all hope and just wing it.
