The Census chart referenced is interesting and may prove useful in your debates with your children who are doing the college at home thing now.
Thanks - this is a really good analysis. Helps if a person knows the Star Trek eps, but not necessary.
You are welcome. I’m a sucker for a Star Trek analogy, particularly if it is from the original series.
Why all the love for Nomad? Are Landru and M5 chopped liver?
Debate?!
Just threaten to feed them to that planet-eating cream horn thing if they pull any of that commie crap at home.
Well, when you boil it all down, we all are just ugly bags of mostly water.
Or maybe a hungry Horta, a cranky Gorn...
That which is not Constitutional must be sterilized!! And there are no exceptions!!
Too merciful... death by tribble (no details I might get banned)
Yeah, I still sometimes call dollars “quatloos”.
I think the concept of the article was somewhat similarly addressed by gamers who called PC-SJWs “NPCs” - “non playable characters” in video games who just follow their program and can’t respond/interact beyond that limit.
Landru seeks tranquility. Peace for all. The universal good.
Kirk’s normal “go-to” move with unhinged AI’s was to trick them into calculating to the last decimal the value of pi or the square root of two.
Within minutes, the computer’s memory banks would be a smoking husk.
Actually, death by Tribble is how I’d like to go if given a choice...
How’s this for an idea...
Stella, dear!
Make antifa replace their prime directive and believe that Soros needs to be ‘sterilized’.
I had a partner once we nicknamed Nomad because he liked to fire anyone he found imperfect in any way. I would have loved to transport him off the ship!
Um, he also did it with the M5, Landru, etc, etc.
WHY THIS THREAD??? Now I am forced to binge watch 20 episodes of TOS tonight! AAAHHHH!!!
No Festival to you!
Lol. The Red Hour.
