People on the Enterprise would point and laugh at an alien society that’s stuck in a rut because of Doomerism.
Thinking that cynicism will result in an ideal society is illogical. You can’t control how other people think, you can only control how you think. If everyone is is mired in the cynicism of doomerism, would we be in the ideal Star Trek society?
For us in Germany it went pretty smooth. Kurdish Immigrants developed the first and very potent vaccine, the industry went into overdrive and delivered faster than anyone could have imagined, a well know Immunologist became Minister for Health, we received daily updates, none of the major party tried to downplay anything, when a new chancellor was voted to power he mostly continued the policy of his predecessor and when priority lists for vaccination were given out people simple honoured them. After two years 75% were vaccinated.
And trust me, no one drank bleach. Everyone made fun of the stupid Yankees who did.
I hate that COVID makes the Star Trek utopia so much less likely. We’re living in the mirror universe.
Well it only starts improving after next world war.
evil timeline
Turns out we were the borg all along
I mean, even in the StarTrek universe humanity got WAYYYYY worse before it got better.
There must have been an evolutionary change, like predisposition for sociopathy and narcissism and authoritarianism got reduced.
