    Pretty sure Roddenberry himself realized later how unrealistic his original vision was. Humans are always humans, from our beginning to our end, we will always have the same flaws and issues and prejudices, and no amount of technology is gonna fix that

      I mean, not long ago on a evolutionary timescale we were hunter-gatherers, living only in small familial groups. People have changed a lot and we’ll continue to, there’s no reason to believe our current flaws are inescapable. That’s just defeatism and apathy

        Yes yea, you’re an American leftists and everyone who isn’t you is a fascist, we get it. Go fight with other leftists in the corner while the right is united and laughing at you. Why are Americans so appealed by toxic, exclusionary mindsets? Stop calling everyone around you a fascist, that’s how you end up alone with no friends.

          I thought you had a point up above, but you are losing people here by allowing yourself to be triggered. Do whatever you want but I wanted to offer that thought.:-)

          On Reddit and Facebook both I was always allowing myself to get drawn into arguments with people who were never going to change their minds. But here on the Fediverse we don’t need to foster engagement to help fill up someone’s pocketbook (more traffic => more ads => moar money 🤑💰). I hope you can find a way to just have fun here! 😁
