Not many people know that Gene Rodenberry the writer of Star Trek channelled ideas for the show such as the Prime Directive. It's a universal law idea that prevents the intervention of higher form life without invitation. It was quite an unusual idea for it's time in a cold-war crew-cut United States. Maybe there's some truth in it.
So if benevolent E.T. is unable to intervene without our invitation then get your arse over here and vote for urgently needed new technology to clean the planet up and whatever model of iPhone ET is using. Or do nothing and don't complain if it all goes tits up ;)
