Honestly it may be interesting to explore the scientific histories of fictional alien worlds.

It would be perfectly reasonable for the Enterprise crew to mention a Vulcan, Andorian, or Klingon physicist who discovered special and general relativity before Einstein, but they would always mention Einstein. Perhaps so the audience can feel a sense of connection to this version of the future.

I think the fact that the characters in Star Trek still refer to "old science" in a way that's consistent with modern science as we know it speaks to how science is not merely a collection of facts, but a human effort that we tend to feel some collective pride in.

Would it largely be untouched, or would our science history need to be recontextualized to include our would-be benefactors? Would Newton's laws still be called Newton's laws? Human science history seems to be largely respected by Vulcans despite their smugness; would that be the case in real life?

People really love to just make shit up... 🫠

Getting past the first episode was the greatest challenge for me lmao

There is some part of me that wants to think this is some sort of karma for my own moral failings, despite knowing that accountability shouldn't come in the form of facing bigotry. Therapy helps with maintaining that awareness at least.

Thank you, that is very much appreciated💖
I'm unfortunately in a spot where my chances of being able to stay in academia seem... not so good, given *broadly gestures at the world*, but I'm trying to make the most out of the time I have left

If people who in their heart of hearts are opposed to fascism are nonetheless affected by its prevalence, what does it mean for everyone else?

Charging 1% of your entire balance every month as a fee for a "credit protection service" that you have to opt out of if you don't want it???
