I saw the title and wondered whether this would be about the novel, or the worlds. Thank you for addressing that in the very first sentence! Really enjoying this series -- if you can't tell from my username, I'm a Niven fan.
Wouldn't it have saved a LOT of work and grief if the Puppeteers had just bought the plans for condoms and the Pill. I understand that the Outsiders have a BOGO on that, and at 3.0468*10^-23 the price of the planetary drive
The outsiders were not willing to sell that tech. They believed the puppeteers were not advanced enough to build them without destroying their world in the process.
The Puppeteers are one of my favorite races. Feel free to mention why their leaders are called, "Hindmost".
Great video as always!! Your channel deserves way more subscribers!

They were afraid of everything. They may have been afraid that birth control of any kind would lead to their extinction.
