Like the watermen who advance forward while they look backward.
Let them up easy.
Festina Lente (Hurry in slowly)
It is my intention to proceed slowly with our trenches.
We cannot blindly embrace the benefits of technology.
One who speaks deferentially but increases his preparations will advance. One who speaks belligerently and advances hastily will retreat.
One doesn't just wander unvetted into someone else's epic interstellar future history.
Not blind opposition to progress,but opposition to blind progress.
