No one bases their lives around Star Trek moral messages besides a few nerds.
Also, you may want to read what I wrote again. I said "Star Trek is not pretending to be a moral philosophy." Ayn Rand claims that Objectivism is the basis for ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, etc. How on Earth does that compare to the Ferengi being greedy as a parable of capitalism?
- skookumchuck 8y ago> "Star Trek is not pretending to be a moral philosophy." I gave a link showing it was Roddenberry's directive. Also, what do you think of the Prime Directive? (Which, of course, is routinely violated if the aliens don't conform to progressive ideals.) > besides a few nerds I've read progressive newspaper columnists citing Star Trek as a model to emulate.
