Essentially, is it better to live by someone else's standards, or to die by your own? Amaurot was going down the road to a tragic end regardless of Meteion.
Yeah but Meteion said it herself, all the civilisations she found destroyed themselves. "Hope" is a little cheesy in the face of natural evolution and the Fermi Paradox, don't you think?
