    Ancients and their Inconsideration For NonEvil Beings Who Stumble Upon Their Tech

    OK. I'm really covering two topics here--Ancient Technology and Ancient Ethics. Perhaps Ancient common sense too.

    I was wondering if the Ancients who invented and/or decided to place the Repositories of Knowledge bothered to think what might happen if someone happened to accidentally interface with it whose conscious mind wasn't compatible with it. Did they not care? I'd hope not. If they cared, why couldn't they have a subroutine and software built into the overall programming which scanned the human not only to be sure they weren't a Jaffa but that they weren't physiologically unsuited to safely recieve the downloaded mass of information?

    Also, when Merlin created the Black Knights knowing they could harm people who didn't know how to neutralize them, what was he thinking? Couldn't he just transport those people somewhere else if they weren't the ones meant to find the discoveries those Knights guarded?

    Really bothering me when I think about these two particular scenarios.

    Well, you have to be intelligent (as they need to be accessed via Stargate or starship) and have the Ancient Gene to make the repositories work. So, more likely they were left behind for their decendants, after intelligence had "evolved" to the point that they could understand, and not just stick their heads into places.

    For the Black Knight in Camelot, the sole purpose of it was to guard, and if necessary, kill the people that tried to invade his study/house/whatever. And having dead bodies is a rather good deterrent from it happening again.

      I'm pretty sure them letting anubis nearly take over the MW just to punish oma and leaving the wraith be when they ascended shows the moral code of the ancients.

        The person who looked in the repositorie was assumed to be an ancient, hence why the ATA gene was required, the had no clue that humans would have the gene.

          We leave land mines everywhere, knowing that they will eventually kill some kid chasing his basketball at some stage in the future.

          At least the Ancient gear you mentioned wasn't intended to kill.

          I must say I agree with the comment above re what the Ancients do (or more to the point, don't do) when ascended. They are just a bunch of lazy nuff nuffs.

            That was after the asended, they may have had a different view on the Universe then.

              i do not believe the ancients planned on dying. also as ascended beings, they don't interfere because their power can easily corrupt them

                the ATA Gene isn't required, because Daniel doesn't have it and he was able to use one

                    That one was modified my Merlin, and since Merlin was in daniel's head, he was able to use it.

                      We learned how the Ancients viewed us. Something like ants or bugs, IIRC. Would you concern yourself with some ants?

                        Can you blame them for seeing us as ants?

                            bugs, ants; its all the same thing. The main thing is that they don't exaclty view us in the highest regard.

                              Well that's because we didn't accomplish anything spectacular , well maybe a few thing but nothing to get their attention , except for dealing whit the ori which is done whit their weapons , but they are to scared to use them .

                              I will stop now because i am arguing whit myself , well i come back after i win against myself
