Star Trek and the ideas we must reject to save our future
- eesmith 9y ago> Star Trek of course conveniently skips over how they got from our primitive world to theirs. Even assuming Ms. Unknown is right, how do we get there? It’s hard to see it happening without a science fiction cliche like a terrible world war or alien invasion, something to force our myopic species to recognize our survival depends on our partnership in sharing spaceship earth and not petty self-interests, The turning point was the Bell Riots in San Francisco as a consequence of the 'inhumane internment camps for the poor'. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Bell_Riots http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Bell_Riots . Not really a science fiction cliche.
