My version is a bit simpler:
* If you do not know about bad things happening, have no way to know, and have no way to prevent them, then you are not morally culpable. Say, if they're happening on the other side of the galaxy from where you are.
* If you DO know about bad things happening, have options to intervene or at least warn people, but choose not to do so, then you are morally culpable for that inaction. Say, if they're happening on the other side of the galaxy from where you live but have purposely gone to spy on people. It's like when someone runs screaming down a street while being slowly murdered, and dozens of people hear the screams, but nobody does anything.
Really not coming across as an advanced civilization there.
