All very true, but you have to make it through the educational process to earn the right to be a rebel.
I wonder how they are going to handle the Koubayashi Maru test that cannon has kirk manipulating into a win in a no win test.
As I recall he was supposed to have reprogrammed the computer so that his ‘win’ could be achieved. That story line never played well with me. If Sulu or some other individual had done it, it would seem more realistic. I don’t see Kirk as much of a computer nerd.
I enjoyed the Star Trek series of television shows and movies. That doesn’t mean that I agree with the unified Federation theory, sort of an homage to the United Nations model of governance.
Start Trek also promoted the no (or very few) personal belongings model too.
At one time the original series took great care to promote the non-intervention model as a highly ethical stance, then passed off Kirk as a guy who was admired for his unethical approach to the Koubayashi Maru test. It’s kind of an interesting contrast in values.
