It's even more interesting in a postmoral view. In this light, 
societies are evolving, competing creatures like anything else; the 
race to first-world status is one form of evolution, and surviving it 
may be another.

It's interesting how the image of aliens - denuded of hair, naked 
without technology, confined in moving cities of lights - is 
consistent in human lore :)
