velly interestin'! big fan'o the original series, never bothered with it's later in-TARNATIONs!

The original it was, dare I say, purdy libertarian in na'chur--ya don't start troubles outside yer own barn (spaceship, solar system, all that...) an' ya only react IF threatened (in a deadly way--if thus threatened then ya bring out yer big stick like Kirk!), accept that other nay-shuns 'r different (very!) an' let'em have their differences however off-kilter they appear, don't try to change'em, do not interfere! Kinda like Ron Paul wuz whisperin' in Gene Roddenberry's ear! CHARACTERS had all them BIG emotions (even Spock had some hot-blood from his human half!) but everything was directed to set a good example but NEVER to impose yer "system" on others. Boy golly, sounds like the message got lost with that bathwater!

ps Kirk (Shatner) is a purdy cool feller with a campy sense've humor 'bout himself. He loves readin' bout conspiracies coming TRUE (recent interview) an' tho so far nobody has disabused him 'of the climate hoax one (they should), I'm sure he'd listen! He's a sharp n' smart ol' fart an' funny too--no time fer fools!

I have nothing intelligent or insightful to say.

However, I must thank you for my trip down memory lane - I'm a long term fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars. So lovely to be reminded of the uncritical optimism of Star Trek - of course the future will be civilized and largely solution orientated by peaceful, intellectual and fundamentally decent means.

We must claim back our civilized future.

Another form of propaganda I thought of after watching this season of 'Picard' - He is now in a synthetic body because his original meat suit failed him after poor health. This is a nod to the transhumanism agenda... https://blogs.bcm.edu/2017/03/22/man-machine-evolution-transhumanism/
