Advice from the Suicidal (Score 2)

There is something to be said for gaining technology at a pace that allows it to be understood - and more importantly, by a civilization that has the capacity to wield it with wisdom. You can drop a truckload of dune buggys and uzis off at the primate house at your local zoo; but a more advanced bunch o' monkeys ain't what you'll get. (more like Mad Max meets the Bananna Splits I imagine:)

With any luck, future civilizations will be evolved enough when they find any such records to recognize that they don't want to take advice from a bunch of screw-ups like us. After all, if we manage to dissapear, it will almost certainly be at our own hand. What makes us think our advice or knowledge will be anything but a curse to hypothetical future civilizations?
