“Man is meant to be free, but everywhere, he is in chains.”

“Fish everywhere are meant to fly in the air, but everywhere they swim underwater.”
The idea that man can ethically evolve in the tragically short period offered by Star Trek is preposterous. Star Trek is the dream of progress manifested via technology, but we have the technology to feed the world right now, we have the technology to greatly expand medical care at a low cost, yet we don’t because we are designed to be slaves of unjust systems that dominate and abuse.

Still love the show, though.
