To all my friends who are Star Wars fans, listen to Andrew’s wisdom ;-)
I, too, have been repeatedly inspired by Trek. Recently rewatched TOS S2E24 “The Ultimate Computer”. Totally relevant commentary on AI.
Apparently today is national Star Trek day. It reminds me that the more cerebral and original Star Trek didn’t leap generations the way the fun but somewhat banal Star Wars did. I enjoy Star Wars immensely as entertainment, but I was enlightened by Star Trek.
