99% of humanity works for self interest - always has and always will. They may have bouts of charitous behavior - but very rarely when their survival and comfort is on the line. The only reason the Federation was able to be this way was due to magical devices that replicated anything they wanted. The problem is that if that device existed today - humanity would slide into sloth and laziness rather than better themselves. We see it every day in places where economies are great. Young people sneer at working low wage jobs and would rather have easy fame, money, and validation.

I remember a very similar character in the TV series, "Star Trek: Enterprise". Enterprise went back in time to WWII. Aliens were stuck on Earth in the war years, and were giving the Nazis aid in exchange for supplies they said were for building a weapon, but was actually a device designed to take them back to their own century. With the aliens help, the Nazis had taken a portion of the U.S. east coast, including New York. In NYC, Capt. Archer & company met a young black woman who was part of a resistance cell. She discovers that the people she's just met are from the future, she visits the ship,... A two-part episode. "Storm Front"?🤔? Very similar characters.

I so wish it was possible, but even if we solve our basic needs with food, shelter and energy, there will still be limited assets that not everyone will be able to have. For instance, not everyone can have a perfect view from their apartments high up in the mountains. Star Trek is such an awesome world, I would love to visit it someday (visit it because I'm not at all sure I could actually adjust, I've been in this world for too long), but until humans manage to reprogram themselves, it just can't be done. Not on a massive scale, which means there'll always be conflict between groups. Such a sad thing to know.

Growing up watching Star Trek really had an impact on my life. I always find myself philosophizing about how life could be. The idea of a world without the drive to get as much wealth as possible sounds amazing. These days people don't live simply to live. We live to work and we work to live.

@Morpheus-pt3wq Жыл бұрын

That´s the issue. These ideas do SOUND amazing. Even communism isn´t a bad idea, but each time humanity tried creating utopia, it failed. Meanwhile, flawed systems work reliably for thousands of years. I thinks it´s related to humanity itself being flawed. Since we are flawed, we can´t create "perfect" system, because our thinking about something being "perfect" is flawed as well. Also if you remove money from the system, you will need another way to assess value of things (because 1 loaf of bread is surely not equal to 1 smartphone or 1 car), which will again reintroduce some sort of currency into the system.

I don't think it's impossible for us to do this one day. We lived as hunter-gatherers for most of our spices lifetime, "obtaining" things and food was our normal lifestyle, and when we started settling down we eventually learned the desire to wage wars and "obtain" the land of others, since the 20th century we have been converting that desire for war into "obtaining" more wealth and technological advancement, to me the natural progression of this is to further the desire of obtaining more and more abstract things, less material and less short-term, until we are like the 24th century of Star Trek, perhaps one day focusing on bettering ourselves will be the next thing we desire. The way I see it we are just slowly learning to overcome what we as a species are genetically predisposed to, and we have been doing well so far. Even if the progress is slow sometimes, I think we can get there.

Its an interesting parallel with Worf believing Klingons to be honorable brave warriors, and then finding out a lot of them are backstabbing liars.

As much as I love classic trek, it's not a manual on how to build the future. It is a wishlist. We never see the 'somewhat different' economics of the 24th century. Is there a president of the world? A parliament? How is it decided who that is? We see admirals on the show but no one beyond that or indeed any civilian authorities. So is it a military dictatorship oligarchy? There's certainly a trope of the 'evil admiral' on the show. Who decided the design of the Enterprise-E and why it should be built? How is it decided who owns a vineyard and who lives in an apartment playing the claranet? Why do vineyards even continue to exist alongside food replicators? Who gets or wants the real grapes? Is Picard swapping them for earl gray tea? Maybe he could grow tea instead? Picard claims there's no money but Sisko had to use his all his transporter rations to go home from the acadamy. So is everything rationed? Is everyone on benefits somehow? The humans on the show working for the 'betterment of humanity' seem to have a somewhat different set of inate instincts to people in real life. I'm not saying it can't work as on the show. But how does it work?

This movie is so much better than insurrection and nemesis ❤

My opinion also! It's almost using a similar story line: Star Trek old crew facing Khan; Next Generation crew facing the Borg.

I don't like the plot behind "First Contact", but I absolutely love the movie for its acting.

Ive never understood why the borg dont assimilate on sight, this idea of them assimilating any crew but only if they resist is odd.

Just a forcefield and no glass? What if there's a power cut and someone is in that room? Guess anyone working in that room will be sucked into space to their death. Does the Ent-E not have transparent aluminium windows like the Ent-D? Guess not...

Bad news! The new electrical code just eliminated the exemption for the windows on the circuit breakers. It now has to have both GFI and Arc protection in the breaker. In a related story new rules require a space suit when entering the room….

As we learned in the various series, there is money. And as sad as it is, mankind at it's core is too corrupt to end up like in Star Trek, unless there is some fundamental change i the nature of human kind.
