Ender's Game - Prometheus

I was also shocked to find out that this wasn't a game, that extermination of a race shouldn't be so random. In Battlestar Galactica, there's an episode devoted to whether humans should use weapons that can exterminate other races. Especially at a time when human beings have been driven to nowhere by other races (at that time only tens of thousands of human beings were exterminated), what is right is so prominent and so important. No race has ever been given the position of God, and there is a dilemma for this choice, which is a dead end. Spoiler alert, Galactica's solution is to destroy the weapon, which is the third way I like because he retains hope.
I have the same perplexity as Ender, why should I bear the dreaded reputation of deceit and genocide? Humans should not follow Darwinism, and the law of the dark forest in Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" is very scary (this law has two axioms: 1. Survival is the first need of civilization 2. Civilization continues to grow and expand, but material The total amount of matter remains unchanged), is human existence really permissible in such an environment? Or is human existence really necessary? Of course, the reason why there should be no fear in reality is that the law directly ignores the third point: human beings are always a young civilization. Compared with the universe, even a small part of the universe is enough for humans to explore an almost infinite time in our opinion.
Humans are young enough to be full of flaws, like old and abandoned Wall-E, but it is these flaws that make us think and make us grow. The growth of human beings requires constant exploration, just as we leave our hometown and go to different places; the world becomes bigger and bigger, and we know more and more, so we are no longer limited to one side or one foot, no longer care about some small gains and losses, but more concerned about It's rules, ethics, and the future. I always feel that the future and hope are exciting words, enough to fight for a lifetime. Isn't the so-called "read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles" a kind of hope?
In the end, I still like spoilers, Ender takes the only surviving Zerg life to find a habitat, isn't it like Prometheus stealing fire from humans? hope!
