I'm breaking my "never respond to you" mantra because this is so important to say.And what about justice for this woman whose son this crystalline entity form killed?
Is she just sh#t out of luck?
I don't understand how a person can be obsessed enough with Star Trek to think a walkie-talkie is a cool toy for kids because it says "Star Trek" on it, but not understand the concept of restorative justice.
You don't have to agree with it, but you should at least have a handle on the concept.
You'll be the only one surprised by this, but I do not in fact support the death penalty or permanent incarceration myself, so yes, I would in fact prefer to see a serial killer rehabilitated into society and working at Target if at all possible. If not, they'd stay in a clean cell, with a reasonable amount of social interaction and activity and regular visits from a therapist, in a facility that wouldn't tacitly permit gangs, fights, and abuse as part of the "punishment". You know. Like in Star Trek.
Sounds to me like you don't agree with Roddenberry's vision of the future after all.Star Trek is science fiction fantasy. It won’t work in real life. It goes against human nature, who we are at our core:
Sounds to me like you don't agree with Roddenberry's vision of the future after all.
Sounds like you no longer agree with what you said before:I think an advanced civilization would more likely resemble something like this:
(cued to 1:45)
after trying Roddenberry’s vision of a communistic Utopian society of the future and realizing that once again (ie. the first time it was tried was during the Cold War) that it’s a nice-sounding idea but just does not work in practice because it does not align with human nature (eg. like capitalism does, which comes the closest to human nature).
So which is it? Was he a genius, or was he delirious? You can't have it both ways.Roddenberry was a genius on the same level as Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov.
And probably has no idea what Section 31 even is.ooo-baby is clearly the hr department at section 31
Destroying the entity isn't justice, though. At least not the type of justice the Federation believes in, judging by the fact they don't execute their own criminals or hostile alien prisoners, either.
