SMT_Masochist 01/14/25 2:43:06 PM #32:	Well you're romanticizing the star Trek universe. I'm sure there were upstarts and dumb people there too. They just didn't show them on screen. I'm more curious if blue and green people won't face racism when we can't even see beyond our own colors. What would need to happen is evolution. As older generations pass, their pearl clutching beliefs will disappear. Once this happens, it'll reverse and the old ways will be the minority and will rage for change as it's happening now.

Kaldrenthebold 01/14/25 2:49:20 PM #34:	We're already in Deep Space 9. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bell_Riots By the 2020s, the American government reacting to serious problems of homelessness and unemployment created special Sanctuary Districts (essentially walled-off sections of the city grid) in most major cities. Unfortunately while established with the benevolent intent of providing free housing and food, as well as prospects for future employment the Sanctuaries quickly degenerated into inhumane internment camps for the poor and mentally ill. Even though people with criminal records were not allowed inside Sanctuaries, it didn't take long for the homeless and unemployed to be joined by violent social outcasts. These groups were referred to by their slang terms gimmies, dims, and ghosts. Let's hope after these bad times we can start the real federation.

Syfe 01/14/25 4:07:26 PM #36:	If it's possible, it's a long way off. We are at the beginning of a global world. It is creating friction with a lot of people. We need to get beyond that in order to become a cohesive society. Gene Roddenberry was sure it would take a nuclear war. There is a lot of discussion in the series about the mid 2000s being horrible. Whatever society awaits us is beyond the ashes of our current one. So long as people are still alive who remember a "before globalism" we will be pulled backwards. There is a hard cap on being able to deintegrate our societies, we are seeing that play out right now. There will be war and suffering first. <cite>Syfe posted [p:983662742] in Will we ev...

mybbqrules 01/18/25 4:39:42 PM #50:	DoesntMatter posted... looking less and less likely every day This right here. Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets exists in it's universe because humanity moved beyond their need for material wealth. War, famine, poverty were all eliminated, and instead of using all their energy stacking gold coins or killing other people for their gold coins, they pooled their resources to push into the stars. That will, quite frankly, never happen. Hell, it didnt happen in Star Trek's world until after the third world war happened. The future you will more likely see will be way less Starfleet, way more Weyland-Yutani. --- The American experiment is over. We failed. <cite>mybbqrules posted [p:983716915] in Will we ev...
