    I’d vote for a politician who ran on a star trek platform.

    Have we had any known Trekkies in office before?

      I also wonder this but would like to also add a caveat; has any world leader or politician been a trekkie?

      Close on the values of trek (humanism) would certainly be the Irish president for me (Michael D. Higgins)

        seems like we’re on target for the Irish Unification of 2024 at least

      Lookup GoodSpaceGuy, a perennial candidate on Washington state ballots. His platform is not Star Trek-based, but it is... out there.

    And also we need a nuclear war to achieve global communism and dolphins should be integrated into human society.

      I still have hope in my little Posadist heart that the drastic addition of CO2 to our atmosphere, detectable at interstellar distances, will lead us to first contact with an advanced socialist species.

      And my little conspiracy theorist heart believes that's why they've kept UAPs hidden for decades.

    Okay but let’s not do the part where a military tribunal has the power to decide if a being sentient enough to hold senior officer rank is also property that can be disassembled for science.

    That’s a good take and that’s also why I reject “sure the Torment Nexus is tormenting people in a nexus right now but in a fantastically different society it might actually be a pleasant and nice thing” takes on contemporary horrors such as cryptocurrency, microplastics, and data mining software.

      rotating saucer artificial gravity is a cute idea

      this would be a cool spin-off/fanfic for The Expanse universe though
