Star Trek, etc.

[Melchior]

Since this isn't a high traffic forum, (sans Ron Paul related threads), I'll try to all things Star Trek related to this thread. Maybe even all things sci-fi related. :cool:

From my avatar it should be obvious already what my favorite TV show is, but I'm a casual fan at best. I like Star Wars equally, if not more so, and science fiction in general.

So... to start with, here's a few articles on Star Trek from a libertarian perspective, if you don't mind my archiving them here. ~

The Economic Fantasy of "Star Trek" (http://www.fee.org/pdf/the-freeman/goldsmith1204.pdf) by P. Gardner Goldsmith
Happy 40th Birthday, Star Trek - Why Captain Kirk's story is the story of America (http://www.reason.com/news/show/36827.html) by Tim Cavanaugh
Warp Speed Libertarianism (http://www.anti-state.com/article.php?article_id=74) by Alberto Mingardi
The Economics of Star Trek (http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/Trek-Marxism.html) by Michael Wong

Okay... the last essay isn't written by a libertarian as far as I know, just a Star Wars geek who hates communism. :p

I love Star Trek. I haven't every episode, but it's just such a great show.

I like StarTrek but its old.

I dont like whats going on in Reality in the moment so scifi and other fiction is on hold for me.

Reality is often stranger than fiction.

want your brain tweaked look into future plans of NBIC Nanotech
another interesting search nanotech morgellions.

Transhumanism is what the satanic wealthy elite want. to extend human life
the satanic side fear death and dont believe in afterlife.

if you thought RFID implants were bad. what they want to do with nanotech is absolut. Augmented Reality. The Ultimate Slave society. Propaganda and programming you cannot refuse.

Convergence

couldnt find the nice pdf I was looking for dont have access to my nice treasure trove of data at moment due to computer failure. motherboard died unexpectantly.

btw William Shatner is a public speaker at Transhuman events.

being worked on right now. read the pdf's.
check the funding behind it.

should see how they talk about the future. how yesterdays sci fi which startrek pioneered some or exposed on tv is reality today. nanotech is not so new in sci fi and is around today and will be here in shortterm future 2010-2020.
