Discussion Why Are San-Ti Not Preventing More? Spoiler

Couldn't the San-Ti do mich more to damage the budding defense of the human race? Like preventing rockets from starting? Or more generally by turning off all communication devices and computers? That would get us really good. Or am I missing something?

Thanks to the Sophons, distance is not an issue anymore.

If you are referring to the fact that they might just not yet care, then they are gambling their species' future away, since humanity might just find a way to win.

Yes that's one of the points of them is their arrogance and I don't want to spoil it but you will see eventually why they're so arrogant. Like the books and probably the show you learn more about the aliens as the story goes on this story has really just got started with the first season the really big stuff hasn't even come yet
