The Archers, Pikes, Kirks succeeded by being bold and daring, confronting dangers, fighting to survive. The Siskos and Burnhams instigated war on a galactic scale. They were violent, reactive, risk takers
a couple centuries later, the Picards confronted greater obstacles but with reason, compassion, self-sacrifice. If Kirk had faced Q, that would have been the great filter, but Picard succeeded as a human evolved past his violent reactions
Think of Star Trek as an analogy.
I’ve never watched Star Trek.
I know, heresy for lemmy.
I also use windows and not linux (though I plan on switching when I get time to learn linux)
