[quote]Question part 1 of 2: What do you think of Cortana's plan? If the response is negative then...[/quote]It is statistically efficient and will undoubtedly lead to peace once properly implemented. However, ethics aren't based on statistics or efficiency. Peace under the threat of death is no peace at all. It is not that Cortana's plan is flawed, it is that the Forerunner's system she is basing it off of is heavily flawed. The Mantle of Responsibility has essentially been relegated to the "White Man's Burden" by the Forerunners. [quote]Question part 2 of 2: Why is it fundamentally so very wrong?
