So closed borders, monthly energy credit tribute, and an engineering boost? Sounds good to me!
I have a question; sense turning POPs into livestock/food-slaves is now a thing, is there also going to be an option to harvest primitives for food(or even hunt for sport Predator style?)?
Knorr basically did this in stream. He had to conquer the planed, of course.
These are ethics we're talking about, not forms of government. Collectivism is the idea that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, authoritarianism is the idea that people need strong leadership. In human society, they usually go hand in hand because collectivism has to be enforced by authority, which results in government forms like regulated capitalism, socialism and ultimately communism. But for an alien race, collectivism might be so strongly rooted in their heritage and hardwired into their thinking that they don't even need an authority.
But as the dev diary mentioned, this is largely dependant on your interpretation of the terminology. I don't fully agree with the way they reworked this part of the ethics system, but making a system that fully 100% agrees with everyone's views on how governing ethos should work is impossible.

I love reading Wiz's DEV diaries because I can literally hear him talk when I read them ^^
OH baby, hope this spawns an influx of memes to the thread.
But yeah, im looking forward to doing a 'Reaper' playthrough now, just indoctrinating species, uplifting them and making battle thralls and lots of servile fleets and then forcing ascension to reaper form upon them.

Nomads (with a choice to completely strip planets of resources), more bug portraits, and organic ships/weapons.
Will it be possible to mod a specific tech to require a certain level of ethic attraction in order to be learned?
Can't resist pointing out that in the first event screen about societal shifts, it should be "and their society is all the richer for it," not "all the more richer for it." It's a double negative.
Edit: Sorry, it's redundant.

Maybe the person is jaded about their ethics and is being passive aggressive / sarcastic. *chuckle*
Will we be able to see factions with similar goals align with each other? Can factions be comprised of more than one ethic?
Hivemind isn't an ethical point of view. It's something biological, so it can't be it.
If I had to guess, it represents three solar systems, with a bolded one. And that represents the "Regionalism" ethic, which if it takes hold, will get pops to demand autonomy or independence, regardless of the other ethics they have.
yes, but that's making the primitives part of your empire and then setting their species to livestock-slavery status, I'm talking about having an option from the observation station to abduct and eat them fresh from the wild.
Being a hive mind is not in itself an ethic, but it replaces having an ethic. Instead of following an ethic, they follow the queen, in this case the player/government.
Still doesn't make sense, since what you're saying is basically Regionalism/Separatism.
Just because other people are jumping off a bridge doesn't make it a good idea. The sentence conveys the exact same information and tone without that word. That some people have become enamored with this particular redundancy doesn't make it not redundant, or good writing for that matter.
