If the federation is such an enlightened utopia why did one of her colonies degrade into a sate where planet wide roaming rape gangs made the rules the moment the replicators started malfunctioning?

Because any civilised society is only able to maintain itself as long as the population gets its bread and circuses (replicators and holosuites?). If you read up on modern sociological studies of the same sort of situation in modern society then we're only ever about 3 days away from Dark Ages style clan/tribal warfare in most cities. As humanity doesn't seem to have advanced much socially in Strek why would it be any different for them?

This is the correct answer, and it's actually a recurring theme in many Trek series: Humanity has not evolved. It has advanced, but it has not outgrown its violent, paranoid, animalistic nature. The question we should be asking is why one of the Federation's colonies was allowed to stay that way for decades?

That's the one that I can't find an answer for. The breakdown of Turkana IV is pretty well covered in TNG, but there doesn't seem to be any attempt to explain how or why the Federation doesn't seem to have heard about it until the Potemkin was told to fuck off when they wanted to land on the planet. There also doesn't seem to have been any attempt to solve the problem after Star Fleet became aware of it, they even let Turkana sever its links with the Federation without any of the shit they put the Maquis through - not even a single word of a peacekeeping force as far as I can tell.

Did Star Fleet/The Federation just decide that Turkana was too much of a shitpit to care about?

From what /strek/ canon has pulled and I find it an acceptable answer since it was hinted at and even downright shown at times, is that there were many human colonies formed well before the Federation was created. Either from sublight or Warp 1 era vessels and over time they simply got lost in paperwork or records were destroyed.

So there's potentially dozens if not hundreds of human colonies around that are not part of the Federation.

I can actually see that happening. It's just one planet after all and they'd probably feel good about the number of lives they can save with the stories of Turkana's rape gangs.

>>30954

You'd think that would be a huge plot point though. Hundreds of human colonies, at varying levels of development, acting independently and without any coordination with Star Fleet - possibly against Star Fleet - and they're found scattered around Federation space. Do you think that the Klingon or Breen would be happy to accept the 'yeah, sorry, those humans aren't part of our club' explanation after human raiders start hitting their less defended outposts.

Hell, wouldn't these spots where Federation law is not enforced just become a hot spot for every pirate, malcontent, and weirdo in the quadrant? Star Trek does love its planet of hats after all, and having human colonies where they can explore every single form of degeneracy or odd social movement translates into 'we don't need filler episodes anymore'.

To some extent they do run into various Human colonies that aren't affiliated, like the masterpiece society, those cloners, the Irish transplants, and the people growing genetically enhanced children with uber immune systems. Also those poor bastards who were on the planet the Sheliak wanted.

Starfleet seems to have a situational view on all of this, and in general comes down on them if other aliens are involved like the Sheliak or Cardassians. The planet of geneticists seems like a retcon, although maybe because they were remote the Federation let them do research.

I think there's some merit to >>30953's perspective, but I would also be quite willing to believe that the Feds wouldn't want to waste time or resources on it given they had bigger fish to fry. Granted the Potemkin situation was a good half decade before the Feds got slammed by the Borg at Wolf 359, but even then the Cardassians were still taking pot shots at Fed worlds (to O'Brien's misfortune), and Starfleet might not have wanted to go on a grand reclamation project with that hanging over their head. And after Wolf 359, well…conflict with Klingons, the Dominion War, more Borg incursions; all and all not very good environments for relief missions.

>>31001

I sort of felt that about the time Eddington brought up the Borg he more or less fucked himself, given Sisko's history with them. Sort of a side issue, I suppose, though.

Wasn't the early part of the 24th century for the Federation taken up with them being pretty much at war with everyone around them? It wasn't just dealing with Romulans or Klingons, but the fact they had nearly every minor power on their border fighting them at the same time?

The canon-safe explanation is because they are expanding. Venturing into headcanon again, it seems there is an awful lot of pressure for people to move off of Earth, which makes sense - utopia isn't free. It seems the pressure is to remove potential welfare recipients and send them to very dangerous colonies, and extract the complex resources there to support earth. This would put lots of pressure on expansion, which would lead to conflict.

Yeah but there is always an underlying thread in federation propaganda that humans truly have advanced and are perhaps even "post human" in a way. I suspect the effects of the eugenics wars and the third world war contribute to this. In theory the humans in star trek are all augments, or descended from augments. In my head cannon Khan and his friends did a lot of raping and pillaging across earth increasing the average iq throughout the entire globe. Which explains why Zephram Cochran was able to invent warp drive in 2063, a couple of generations after the conclusion of the third world war (which also involved augments and genetic engineering).

Canon-wise, Roddenberry wanted mankind to improve as time went on, so officially that is what happens. Others at Paramount (smarter people) said Star Trek was at its best when it was shown humans hadn't changed all that much, so there's a weird conflict in every series between these two ideas.

and the Soviets were pushing their idea of the 'Enlightened Worker' pretty hard too. I may venture into headcanon here but throughout the series the Federation seems to be coming dangerously close to losing its grip on power pretty regularly. As has been pointed out ITT and elsewhere they seem to be pretty much constantly either at war with one or more other powers or quite obviously reaching a point where war is inevitable. That sort of external political scene doesn't lead to a happy and content population, even if the state has complete control of the media and is feeding them lies every day. That sort of 'we have brought you out of barbarism and into the wonderful, fluffy, Utopia you see around you' propaganda would be a useful meme to push in such a society - particularly among your military officers - as it would help stabilise the situation and (hopefully) reduce the calls for reform/liberty. It also helps explain the gap we often see between ships bridge crews/researchers and the colonists in the setting; Picard and co are the educated elite of that society and went through 4 to 8 years of political education/indoctrination at a military school to get there. While the crew are always talking about taking some kind of extension course or extra-curricular there I imagine that a large part of their education at the academy was to make sure that they had the official politics of Star Fleet and the Federation lodged in their heads for the rest of their lives.

Does that still make sense in an economy with replicators where 'complex resources' and even entire manufactured, high tech, products can be summoned from thin air? We know that there are a few things that cannot be replicated, but the majority of resources/products can be.

Population pressure would make much more sense as the drive to send people to the colonies. We know that peoples quality of life and behaviour drop pretty sharply as population density increases, and their behaviour becomes a lot less 'enlightened' in crowded cities. The federation could order colonisation missions whenever the medical or census data shows that they're approaching the point where population density would rise past the ability of their citizens to be decent and civilised to each other.

I don't think population pressure is a good reason for space colonization as limiting population growth is so easy its hard enough to avoid it naturally happening in a post-industrial society. I'd wager that the main point of encouraging colonization in the Federation is giving an illusion of liberty: if you don't like your gilded holosuite cage, you can either apply yourself in the state military apparatus, or fuck off to colonies to have "real life" full of pointless hardship. It would work also as means to keep up the illusion of equality. If someone wants a vineyard, they obviously can't all get in France, Earth without some connections, but they all sure can get it in France, Space-Crystal-Feeding-Ground-4.

That makes sense, I think that overt population control would be a little too heavy handed for the Feddies to maintain the image they've put a lot of time and effort into crafting though. Considering the sheer amount of free time the average citizen of Earth has on their hands, and the incredibly relaxed moral standards in federation space in general I'd be surprised if there wasn't a fairly high childbirth rate outside of the military outfits we see on the show.

Not having enough land was kind of my point though. Unless they were happy to turn the entire surface of Earth into something out of Judge Dredds Mega City 1 they would either need to crack down on reproduction like some kind of Sci Fi China, or start a few thousand new terraforming projects that would be able to take a few hundred thousand citizens out of Earths cities in a decade or so.

There are limits to what can be replicated, which is why mining is still regularly done. Latinum is too complex to replicate, as is dilithium.

Also, we don't really know how efficient replication is. The energy requirements could be quite huge, and so they need to mine to extract resources. Cardassians had replicators but they still needed to strip mine bajor.

Effective contraceptives exist. General promiscuity doesn't mean high population growth in current societies, so I don't see how it would do so in Star Trek. Based on contemporary trends, even maintaining their population would require massive effort from the Federation's government, unless they go for pumping out vat-grown babies and then indoctrinating them in state orphanages (which I could see them doing, that being every communists wet dream, but in the show they don't).

You don't see this onscreen much because it happens mostly on the core planets, but most human children are sired by a relatively small number of "bulls" who form a self-contained caste within Federation society and each serve as a sort of male "hive queen" by mating with and impregnating women in large numbers. For example both Kirk and Riker are members of the bull caste, as is Wesley's obviously absentee father.

Men who mate out-of-caste are generally shunned and sidelined, especially within such a respectable organization as Starfleet; for example, Sisko's fathering of Jake was ultimately responsible for his transfer to the outermost periphery of Federation space. And we all know about the travails O'Brien faced after entering wedlock with a female. On the other hand repressed and obedient volcels such as Picard are quickly promoted to the upper echelons of Starfleet—as long as there is always a Bull handler present (in his case Riker).

As I understand it the output of a Dilithium reactor is basically 'arbitrarily high' - it would need to be for any kind of warp travel to be possible after all. I'm not saying that you could run all of earth off a single star fleet warp core - but if you have enough dilithium mining output to run an entire fleet of ships then you should also have more than enough to provide an unlimited supply of energy to an arbitrarily high population. We also know that the majority of colonies were not dilithium/latinum mines. Latinum also didn't seem to be of much interest to humans unless they were posted somewhere that had a Latinum based economy.

But isn't the reaction from matter-antimatter annihilation, and the diluthium is ther to turn the high energy photons into electrical energy to be immediately shuttled into warp core plasma? Doesn't dilithium last indefinitely as long as it isn't melted?

Apparently the dilithium is just used as a crystal matrix to contain the reaction. I can't remember the episodes, but didn't Voyager 'run out of dilithium' or come close a few times?

Does Star Fleet have the capability to economically turn hydrogen into antihydrogen? Or is there just a huge antideuterium harvesting operation that never gets talked about, it would need to be a colossal industry to power every ship in the fleet (even excluding civilian ships and planetary use) considering that antihydrogen is a tiny fraction of the hydrogen in existence (~0.015% of the hydrogen atoms on earth) and presumably the ratio for hydrogen to deuterium would hold for its anti-versions (about one atom in every 6420/0.02% according to the wikipedos). Unless they can replicate or convert antideuterium (at an energy cost that doesn't make the whole process worthwhile) they should have exhausted the quadrants antideuterium reserves pretty quickly considering that Enterprise carries a few tonnes of the stuff on a full tank.

This answers more question than it rises on better ratio than canon typically does. They could very well have a half-unofficial social credit system that, among other things, determines every person's access to blockers to the the unspoken contraceptive drugs inserted to all replicated food and drink. Maybe that's why they come up with stupid excuses why replicated food can't possibly be as good as the real thing; they don't want their gonad's fried by synthehol (see Picard's brother actually managing pop out offspring) but can't say it aloud out of fear of getting their privileges voided.

You're right, that entire plot point and the stories it leads to are complete horseshit unless Cardassia either doesn't have anywhere near the energy infrastructure to realistically possess replicator technology (already ruled out by canon) or is staffed with such complete retards that they haven't realised that the 'magical make whatever you want machine' can make whatever they want (also ruled out by canon).

The black hole isn't massive enough to cause any significant time dilation effects. You only need a tiny black hole, just big enough to keep hawking radiation from shrinking it faster than you can dump matter into it. IIRC, you only need like 500,000 metric tons of matter to make the black hole. That's the amount of soybeans china processes into oil every day. It would have a Schwarzchild radius of something like an attometer. That's a like a billionth of a nanometer or something. Tiny tiny black hole. I could google all this, but I don't wanna.

In TOS they did time travel pretty much at will. Which raises quite a lot of questions. Starfleet might have regulations against too much fuckery with the time line, but how about everyone else? You'd think every instant would be saturated with First Contact style pre-emptive strikes.

I suppose that could make sense. If you watch the shows it does look more and more like most of their major problems are solved by some organisation that never gets screen time. I've always assumed that was section 31 doing something reprehensible behind the scenes, but what if there are a few combat regiments serving with Star Fleet that kick arse every day and never get talked about or recognised because nobody wants to admit that their utopia only exists because of the ten thousand or so muscular, psychotic, violent bastards (presumably with some kind of deeply traumatised, Academy graduate, handler) who kill and burn in their name.

Swap Section 31 for Psi Corps, Starfleet for Earthforce, and those violent hordes for GROPOs, and you basically have the human republic from Babylon 5. It's all sunshine and rainbows and democracy on the surface, but it's actually held together through straight-up-fascist shady jackboot shit.

Soldiers like this guy had to have come from somewhere, after all. And I doubt they stuck him with the normie Starfleet officers. O'Brien must have been a part of this group, too.

Would that mean that this combat unit has embedded sleepers in Star Fleet? I suppose that could make sense on a ship like the Enterprise which seem to get into trouble often enough that it would be worth the hassle to post a few of these 'get shit done' types there permanently, it'd be easier to have them serve 'undercover' as well to preserve the illusion for the normies serving on the ship and keep these units out of the news whenever Enterprise does something significant.

If we assume that Chief was one of those guys then it could help explain why his marriage was so terrifyingly unhappy. Keiko knows that it's all a cover, and that this is an assignment for her rather than a relationship. She also knows that the man she's living with is everything that she was brought up to despise.

The sex could have been either a part of her assignment or something she thought would help him continue his work. Keeping the kid could either have been a way for her to try and keep him functional and trusting her (maybe even give him an emotional attachment that might improve his stability and performance), or because Keiko is opposed to abortion. There's also a chance that Keiko might have just seen it as a way to sell the cover story, or because she just wanted a kid.

Both of these are completely wrong. Just as an aside. And if you think about it, how would one even define the "rape capital"? It's obvious sensationalist bullshit.

If you'd bother checking rather than just blithely accepting shit someone says on the internet just because it fits your retard political agenda, you would know how absurd it even is. Many countries don't report rapes; many countries don't even have rape as a separate legal term, instead putting it under the banner of general assault; and a country like Sweden with a small population and a robust justice system will catch and prosecute most rapists. Or did you forget that only a fraction of a percent of ANY crimes are prosecuted in third-world countries because the police are so inept? That obviously doesn't mean that those crimes aren't happening. But instead you see a single statistic (excuse me: are told a statistic exists) and accept it as perfect gospel fact. It's a wonderful example of just how fucking stupid and easily manipulable by memes you right-wing types are.

By the way, the oft-quoted rape statistic was actually from 2012. So it's not even recent.

It's funny how they're willing to accept a statistic in one argument and deny the same statistic in another.

If the argument is about feminism, they correctly note that the reported rate is absurdly high because leftists use batshit "affirmative consent" definitions of rape, apply a de facto guilty-until-proven-innocent standard, and have a general disdain for evidence in favour of emotion, all of which will dramatically inflate the numbers.

But if it's framed as a racial issue, then all that vanishes and the reported stats now accurately describe the rate of genuine rape.

>only a fraction of a percent of ANY crimes are prosecuted in third-world countries because the police are so inept?

Not to mention that even if the police were capable, there's strong cultural disincentive to report it in those countries. The West idolizes people who claim to have been raped. Third world countries shun them or worse.

Most of the "statistics" for brown shitholes are estimates, not actual counts of reports or convictions, and how accurate they are is anyone's guess.

>Five. Five years old, but I survived. I learned how to stay alive, how to avoid the rape gangs. I was fifteen before I escaped.

Then again is S01E06 Where No One Has Gone Before, when shit gets trippy and she thinks she's back home

From what I know about gangs, he's right. They like to rape, especially the women of rival gangs. Also many gangs use rape as an initiation. "You wanna be in the gang? Rape a chick and let us watch." I even remember a song about it. This nigger wants to join the local gang, so they're like, "OK, let's go find a rape victim." So they go find some random woman walking down the street at night, throw a bag or whatever over her head, and they all take turns raping her. They just happen to take off the bag while the initiate is raping her, and he realizes he's raping his own mother, who was walking home from work.

It's literally the only interesting thing about her. Even in the episode with her sister and the rape gang planet, they only mention the rape gangs once IIRC. Then again, rape gangs were some edgy shit when this first aired. They were probably worried about taking shit too far.

I vaguely remember her also being a bitch to Riker on the planet of the Misandrists, but it does seem bizarre that they would write a character with that kind of potential (exploring the breakdown of society, the human will to survive, some trenchant observations about how much the Feds/SF actually care about the people they're responsible for, a member of the bridge crew who doesn't deep throat feddie propaganda, etc) and then fail to use it. I guess that's why they killed her off so quickly.

Who said anything about rough sex?? I was going more towards role-playing her as a helpless loli about to be raped and then you save her for cuddles and headpats (and maybe sex later if you're slow and gentle). It's of my personal opinion that anyone who has sex like that is a complete asshole and loser who is forced to resort to violence to get what he wants because he's otherwise so worthless than his woman would leave him if she wasn't afraid.

Where's the proof that these so-called "rape gangs" even existed? We have only Tasha's word afaik. Maybe she made it up. Maybe they were trying to cure her lesbianism but lacked the proper medical facilities and therefore had to resort to corrective rape. There's two sides to every story you know.

The population of Turkana might have been experiencing late stage feminism. 100% of Turkanan men were spineless, self hating, castrati, orbiters who couldn't summon up the courage to talk to any of the screaming political lesbians they fantasised about. Turkanan men spent most of their lives feverishly wanking a sore into their dicks over the last woman who had screamed at them, and feeling bad that they hadn't gotten her explicit and ongoing verbal consent at every stage of the process. The reason the Potemkin was refused landing clearance was that there was a male officer visible on the view-screen when they made contact, the Turkanan matriarchy saw that the Federation was trying to import toxic masculinity to their planet they had heard the rumours of weaponised rapists called 'Kirk' and 'Riker' and thought that opening fire would be too brutish a response to this flagrant act of aggression from the Federation.

Checks out with Tasha's dialog from Naked Now. How does a young girl go about avoiding "rape gangs"? Easy: stay sober enough to legally give consent. And why would she mention "rape gangs" when she's trying to flirt with Data? She's trying to reassure him that she's not really drunk enough for it to be rape. (Naturally, she changes her mind after sobering up and feeling ashamed of herself, and shoots him a veiled threat to press charges if he opens his mouth).

And if she's the one to blab and screams rape, we have an interesting court case in which Data tries to appeal the decision in Measure of a Man and tries to re-classify himself as a machine to prove that he didn't rape Tasha at all, and she's in fact a mentally unstable woman that personified a sex toy.

Back on topic though, how much info do we have about Data's programming? From what I remember of that trial they never seem to prove 'free will', Picard demonstrates self awareness and intelligence (and arguably self preservation) but not actual self determination. As free will is necessary for Data to be responsible for his actions (as opposed to Soong) and thus a criminal they could make him legally immune to prosecution without challenging the decision the court reached in Measure of a Man.

How do you explain a world which is populated by billions of people ,who posses an IQ that meets official definition of mentally retarded, create a utopian society in the first place? You have to hand wave away the liberal mentality of the writers here. Do they simplicity admit that everyone dumb as nails died off in the war? That doesn't account for regression to the mean. It would take a eugenics program over several generations to increase it ever so slightly over time and would require an Orwellian level breeding experiment to accomplish that would run roughshod over the 'muh right's' that the Federation is founded on to begin with.

All you would need to do in order to predict human behavior in the future is take advanced technology we have today and dump it on population on this planet that hasn't achieved that level yet. Once those who introduced it leave, they always end up breaking it and going back to their primitive ways (see Africa) and only populations with higher average IQ (east Asia) have any long term success.

I always recall Dostoevsky when this gets brought up to. In Notes from the Underground Star Trek requires a belief that humans are all good and it's only want and need that make them evil. A child throwing a tantrum until it gets what it wants and placated when it has sufficient bread and circus to distract it. But Dostoevsky arguing that people would willingly throw themselves into risk and harms way and take a different path than some prescribed utopia if it meant they would be free instead of slaves to some system like the Federation, no matter how idyllic it is.

It's not even about slavery vs freedom. Humans hate both wanting things and having everything they want. But more so it is the boredom of contentment that is more intolerable than the pain of want. See vid for reference. Humans were not built for utopia, they were built to meet and overcome challenges in an eternal striving for perfection. But once we get everything we want, we just don't know what to do with ourselves.

except what humans want changes over time all the time, on a personal and a societal level. just compare it to 100 years ago, or 500 years.

fuck just look at the last 10 years and look how people got more retarded in their "wants", which means theoretically they can also advance to a less retarded position. in the end depends how idealistic/naive you are, and star trek has been pretty idealistic for the most part.

>But once we get everything we want, we just don't know what to do with ourselves.

a holodeck and replicator might give you endless options to satisfy your "wants", but once that's done, what comes next? I mean just look at neets. some shut down and just sit on the couch all they, others spend time and energy on stuff they find interesting and sth "they want to do".

you might have everything you want (known or unknown), the bigger question is how much satisfaction do you get out of it? where's the challenge?

Agree, but the leftist writing staff on this show don't view utopias in the same way normal people do. We understand the bread and circuses aspect of society falling, but a leftist thinks that "goodness" is inherent to one's political leaning rather than a temporary thing dependent on material satisfaction. In other words, you can have a utopia as long as it's made of the right people. The left will only ever show a utopia dissolve if it can teach a lesson from it: "see, your society failed because you were racist" etc.

Agreed, but there are other factors to "goodness". People can and do adopt ideological beliefs/commitments that will negatively influence their behaviour beyond wealth and comfort. People may be (at least) less likely to adopt those ideologies in a certain bracket of wealth but they still do, and if it has a decent chance of happening in a city size population then it's almost guaranteed to happen to a reasonably large chunk of a planets population even with sufficient resources to keep everyone comfortable - unless whoever is running that planet is going out of their way to discourage those ideologies, and even that's not a guarantee.

You imply that any society is created by the many through some kind of bizarre groupthink, which is completely absurd. Hell, if humans form a colony on Mars sometime in the next fifty years, chances are that it'll be almost entirely because of Elon Musk. Most of the time, it just takes a firm kick in the ass to get most people to change for the better. They won't do it on their own.

But also, you're ignoring the biggest reality which is: there is no single unified human "society", there never has been, and there likely never will be. You can say that we're all "living in the 21st century", but we're not. There are billions of people in some countries that (aside from inane shit like cellphones) have no greater technology than existed a hundred years ago; they don't have electricity or running water or distributed food or basic healthcare. There are millions more still living as subsistence farmers. Hell, there are probably many thousands of people in isolated tribes of New Guinea and Brazilian rainforests that are still living as hunter-gatherers, the same as their ancestors have for a million years.

My point is, if a "utopia" ever arrives, you'd be a goddamn retard to believe it's going to affect everyone equally. If biological immortality, FTL travel, and other sci-fi technologies are invented, you can expect the super-rich to scoop it up, wave goodbye to this polluted and depleted shithole of a planet and all of us, and go fuck off to another galaxy to become literal Gods.

Exactly what is pointed out in the vid.

>holodeck, replicator, clumsy analogy to neets etc.

None of those things equate to truly fulfilling someones wants. Neets and holodecks in particular simply cope with being unable to get what they want by distracting themselves with fantasy.

But back to my main point the human condition is built on always having something to strive towards. That could be learning new things in the sciences, fixing up your house, finding a spouse, writing a book, eating the last of an endangered species, etc. If you had no other wants than eat, sleep, and continue to live you would quickly find the need to want something else because the human appetite for "things to do" is boundless. Hence why if you put someone in the most boring environment imaginable they quickly lose their mind and seek out even the most depraved novelties.

>Actual spacecraft have to actually work

It's form before function because the technology has improved. Our spacecraft look the way they do because they need to be as light as possible and they need certain parts to function. Star Trek spaceships don't need those. They don't need spacecraft to be super-lightweight because they have spacedocks and transporters; they don't need to rotate because they have artificial gravity; they don't need thick radiation shields because they have deflector shields; they don't need solar panels because they have antimatter power; they don't need bulky radiators because I guess warp power produces no excess heat.

Basically, compare pic related to a modern sports car. Then imagine showing a picture of that sports car to a guy from the 1900's. He'll assume it's too heavy to move, think it must not have a real engine because you can't see it, wonder how the exhaust gets out, and assume it won't actually work. You're doing the same thing.

No, actually you're just wielding "it's fiction!" like a hammer at this point assuming that if you scream it loud enough it makes all your arguments valid. The entire history of human science is remarked by people being entirely sure about something, and then being proven completely fucking wrong. Why would you be such a complete narcissist as to assume that the generation YOU live in would be the exception, and that all of modern physics, THIS TIME FOR SURE, is correct?

So like, I just read that whole infographic about rape (actually, I just read this entire inane thread) and I think it's pretty amazing how little the person who made that infographic actually knows about female anatomy, tbh.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with a few things in that image but if a vagina is not aroused then rape hurts a woman. arousal makes the vagina wet and loose so that it can accommodate a cock, therefore women can be raped just as much as men can. Furthermore so can children of either gender.

the tone of this image is one of a psychopathic incel in my opinion and I'm a 38yo male who has fucked 10 women and raped none of them.

No. You're a fucking retard that can't even remember what the topic is. I'll say it again.

>Actual spacecraft have to actually work. Fictional space craft just have to look cool, especially in soft sci-fi where it's all about the rule of cool.

It's fiction. It's soft sci-fi. Actual science if an afterthought. It doesn't matter what current spaceships actually look like, or what actual future spaceships will look like. All they need to do is be aesthetically pleasing. I could make a ship that looks like a cock. Not just a little bit, I mean exactly. I can explain it by saying that it's just a coincidence. The balls are just the most efficient arrangement for the fluidic antinutrino coils. The wrinkles on the ball sack are to minimize subspace field distortions from the Kreutzfeld-Jakob force dampener, and the bulbous head is to shield the bridge from polyonic bow waves generated during the activation of the jump drive. I almost forgot. The "flesh tone" is just the natural color of the high energy photon blocking paint.

See how that works? Maybe in 400 years the starships will look like giant veiny cocks, or maybe they won't, but don't act like the shit I just made up is some kind of legitimate science that we just haven't figured out yet.

TL;DR, I'll stop wielding it like a hammer when you stop claiming your glass figurines are invincible.

More important, almost all of ST:TOS was either just crude rewrites / genre flips of basic stories or sermons intended to 'inspire' the viewer. None of that works unless the people in the future are still basically humans.

Showing a superior society that works for evolved supermen would clearly not be applicable to us flawed and weak humans, so not aspirational enough. Would be great Science Fiction, but bad propaganda. We can all see which argument won.

It is also obvious that the period leading up to ST:TNG was a long stretch of peace because otherwise there is no way the Federation would have been stupid enough to build a Galaxy Class starship. They had to have had such a long period of low danger that they actually thought it was a sound idea to build a flagship with most of the space devoted to carrying around women and children, holodecks and other obviously non military and non scientific equipment.

Obviously their design rules changed again after Wolf 359.

>Does that still make sense in an economy with replicators where 'complex resources' and even entire manufactured, high tech, products can be summoned from thin air? We know that there are a few things that cannot be replicated, but the majority of resources/products can be.

Replicators are probably just part of the propaganda: they're actually just teleporters and Federation starships and facilities have huge stocks of components (basic ingredients for food like pre-cooked meat and sauces) they can combine on the fly while teleporting the result in. That's why plenty of people have 'only real cooked food' autism and why you rarely if ever see other factions using them. Also explains the massive amount of cargo space in Federation ship design. Picard, as a Captain, is one of the few allowed to know about this conspiracy which he gives away subconsciously by how he orders his tea: tea (baseline ingredient for all tea varieties), earl grey (flavouring), hot (short for hot water). I imagine some sort of basic tea-concentrate, earl grey flavouring and then a ton of hot water being pushed into it similar to how coffee machines tend to work. It'd be highly space efficient assuming you were picking up water as you go.

So if you ordered, say, a beef stir fry it'd just teleport in cooked beef, cooked vegetables and a rapid-heated sauce. Assume the ingredients are in some sort of super-deep freeze at all times. However as everyone is indoctrinated from a young age into the Federation's belief system they're entirely used to every meal of a certain type tasting almost identical and enjoy the smug self satisfaction that comes with looking down on ''backwards' food autists like Sisko's dad.

>Not having enough land was kind of my point though. Unless they were happy to turn the entire surface of Earth into something out of Judge Dredds Mega City 1 they would either need to crack down on reproduction like some kind of Sci Fi China, or start a few thousand new terraforming projects that would be able to take a few hundred thousand citizens out of Earths cities in a decade or so.

Actually you'd be surprised how much spare room there is on earth even now. You could comfortably fit the entire world's current population in Europe with plenty to spare particularly if you had advanced building techniques for building upwards. This is only helped by having little-no need for roads and little concern over the distance between shops etc (very fast travel, no need for most people to travel to work etc).

Do note though that I'm assuming you're instantaneously transporting food in, not dedicating much space to anything but living, education and entertainment etc. Things also get easier once you can used advanced technology to live in places we'd currently consider inhospitable and literal telelportation to remove things like waste. Assuming you by into the fact replicators exist and work it's also significantly easier. Power generation becomes the only real logistical issue.

Watch DS9's Past Tense two-parter and you get even more of a lack of an answer. Apparently all that's wrong in 2024 is that everyone is just too shortsighted to come together and commit to instate a perfect governmental system that would magically treat everyone with fairness and respect. That's all there is to it. If you could just cure all mental issues in the population and make sure everyone has the autonomy to do whatever their heart desires, we would all naturally flourish in a way that's mutually beneficial to all. IIRC there's even a scene where the well-off corporate types befriending Dax talking about how bad Europe has become and that literal Trotskyites could be some sort of fix to the problem.
