Gene Roddenberry had a different perspective on the outcome.
- krapp 1y agoGene Roddenberry was not a political scientist and wasn't trying to develop a plausible theory or model of a post-scarcity society, and Trek depends on magitech like replicators, free energy and FTL that we can't have in our universe. So his perspective isn't really worth much beyond its entertainment value. Taking Trek seriously for its politics is about as pointless as taking Asimov seriously for cybernetics and AI.
