Nowadays, there are a ton of people who think they are Picard in this instance, but are in all actuality playing the role of Worf. People with good intentions, being fooled and used by Satie. Unfortunately, they may never come to see that they were really playing the role of the villain.

What I love about this episode is earlier, worf was asked about his father (who is considered a criminal at the time) by Satie and he said that is no one’s business. But here, he says if one were not hiding something, he would be forefront and honest.

Strictly speaking, Worf was right. If a person is not afraid of the truth, they won't hide it. *But* what he's missing is that there are many, many reasons a person might be afraid of the truth, and not all of them involve guilt of a crime.

@@ntr10me It's an odd paradox because I don't think you're quite right, either. The ideal we should strive for is to be unafraid of the truth because the truth is both good and required. The more honest we can be, the more good we can do. I think the resolution is actually further up the line: the healthy fear to have is one when you make your choices. You should have a healthy fear of how your choices will be perceived and what impact they might have. If your actions are honorable and above reproach, then you won't have any fear of the truth. _But_ when it comes to judging others, some mercy and grace are warranted. Having made a poor choice in the past, we can understand another person's fear of how the truth might be used against them, even if their actions don't warrant any punishment. And when it comes to legal matters, I think there's some healthy fear that you might speak the truth in a way that doesn't represent it correctly to authorities, and that's where advocacy (lawyers) come into play.

The greatest part of this scene is the very end when Picard walks out. You can see the look on Worf's face. He's torn because he knows Captain Picard is always on the right side of the moral argument and he has disappointed him by investigating the crew.

It's more that Worf has a deep respect for Picard and believes him a man of exceptionally strong moral character (an honorable man)... but Worf also firmly believes he's in the right here. So he's very conflicted.

@DriftZ TwoSeven Where does ST teach you to be fearful of power and to let others take it? There's an entire episode that looks into how droll Capt. Picard's life would become if he was not as impetuous as he was when he was younger. The lesson is not to let others take command, it's to be careful of who you let take command, and if you take command, to treat such responsibility with the gravity it demands. Power is a tool, and can be used for good or ill.

Except McCarthy wasn't wrong. The US government has been full of communists since before WWII. FDR's original VP was replaced by Truman shortly before FDR died. Why?

Did you hear what Picard said, "a right granted by the federation." The right to remain silent and the right not to incriminate one's self is a God given right. The purpose of the 1st ammendment to the US Constitution is not to grant that right to the citizens, but to prevent the government from abridging that right. How the writers of the Star Trek series have seriously misunderstood the importance of a bill of rights.
@eagleeye00782 жыл бұрын
Couple things. First: The Federation isn’t America. They may have a totally different set of rights in their constitution. Second: By enshrining rights in the constitution they ensure those rights are guaranteed to new planets joining the Federation as well as their own existing ones. And finally: You’re thinking of the 5th amendment for not being compelled to testify against yourself. The 1st guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press amongst other things.
@DracoHandsome2 жыл бұрын
While it is true that the US Constitution as interpreted by the US Supreme Court does not create rights, but rather recognizes those that are already present, under this interpretation they are not "God-given". They are "self-evident" - not given by anything, but intrinsic to the human condition. To that end, "granted" does not mean created. It means permitted, allowed, defended, or admitted, which is completely in line with this philosophy. The alleged self-evidence of human rights has not stopped grievous infringements upon those rights throughout US history, as underscored by the Atlantic slave trade and the civil rights movements of the mid-1900s. Picard recognizes that Worf's refusal to allow a suspect to remain silent without self-incrimination degrades his "right" to a privilege. And indeed, history shows us that all human rights are just privileges that put on airs.

The creator of Star Trek did not believe in the American model. He, and other writers in Hollywood believe in the French model of Governance, where rights are granted by the State (effectively privileges that can be revoked). Gene Roddenberry was a socialist. One of the primary principles of socialism is there being no power higher than the State, thus there can be no God.

Their could be other reasons why someone doesn't tell the truth all the time but not telling the truth, no matter how innocent the reason could be, does make someone suspicious.
