I can almost guarantee you that the Jove don't really care.
Still I wonder where Veniel is..

A rare moment of naivete from the foremost cynical commentator in the Amarrian capsuleer class and perhaps the pod-pilot ranks as a whole.
Whatever the case, your 'almost guarantee' is as much conjecture as anything I have said (which I am happy to admit).

The Jove don't care. They're remarkably selfish. Kinda like me, only green.

Their involvment in CONCORD; the existence of SOCT (and the skill pack technology it created); the many Jovian corporations operating throughout Empire space and feeding tech into the space market; the involvement of the Jove in improving cloning technology; and most importantly the fact that the Jove released their patent on pod technology to the Caldari and refused any payment for doing so all tend to undercut the bald assertion (if you'll forgive the pun) that the Jove are simply selfish.
A further point is that the Jove are not some homogeneous entity. They are highly factionalised and indications are that they have insular factions and outward-looking factions. The mysteries of Jovian internal politics certainly elude the best political scientists in the cluster so it is very hard to tell when these conflicting tendencies respectively wax and wane.
The notion they don't care about the long-term survival of the human species is, quite simply, palpable nonsense.
As for you, Disco, having seen you in rouge and blond glory it is hard to imagine you in any other colour scheme, let alone green.

The Jove care about the Jove.
There's a reason why Concord influence does not extend to their space. They might be on the tribunal, and one of their factions might actively develop skillpacks, but I personally don't think they give a damn.
I doubt they ever did. I honestly do.

The Caldari State works by the same set of rules as every other empire, we're bound by CONCORDs crap and that's just plain how it is.
As far as capsuleers go, i agree with the notion that all this will accomplish is force us to the upper echelons of self sufficiency. Soon we won't need the support of Empire economies at all.

I don't think the Jove care much about the Jove at all. Their history with various groups of people over the past hundred years or so seems to point to them caring a great deal about information.
While I agree that they don't care about people as individuals, or about what happens specifically to groups of individuals, they do seem to care about the information that they can gain from subjecting groups to different sorts of stimuli. They gave capsule technology to the Caldari, they gave out the locations of the Immensea cult's space stations to pod pilots. They give away pieces of advanced technology in order to see what is done with it, I would think for the purpose of collecting data on how humanity deals with their new skills and abilities.
What they plan to do with the information, though, I'm not sure. Perhaps they want to justify their manipulation of their own genetics, or maybe they want to reclaim the humanity that they lost in the process.
Either way, whatever indifferences and insignificant seeming moves they seem to make, I have the feeling that there are deeper motives and manipulations at work behind them.
Or maybe Wakita's paranoia is contagious, and I'm just making connections where there aren't any to be made.

Perhaps you're right Rhuu, perhaps you're right.
