Talk about the long game.
This entire plan, from start to finish, was one of the most ambitious projects in galactic history, it seems, not to mention a prime example of the ends justifying the means.
Always a difficult proposition especially if you are one of the billions being sacrificed.
Tough pills to swallow all around.

All based on vulcan ethics: The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few. The founding principle of Section 31.
Which sounds nice - until you put it into practice.
You can imagine what would be necessary to convince people living in Roddenberry's paradise to make such enormous sacrifices when we can't even get Americans to make the relatively painless sacrifices needed to ameliorate climate change.
