As a Star Trek guy who is frustrated by what Vulcans refer to as Logic, and where the idea that being logical had anything to do with suppressing emotions or just ignoring a lot of complexities of what Logic even is and boiling it down to basically being very very very stern and stoic has had some weird fucking consequences.

Also Rocco's Basslick is stupid cause computers don't work that way and we could just like, unplug it. Computers are machines, how would a skynet or whatever get the structures built to put everyone in a simulation or whatever? Things just don't work that way.

My favorite thing about vulcans is they're like "we are very logical, logic logic logic" and everyone is like "they're so smart and logical" but because tv writers are dumb they're basically just super racist radlibs

That and the Libertsrianification of the series post roddenberry are both topics I really wanna dig into and do a big giant write up on but the homework is massive and ultimately about a silly TV show. It could be kinda worthwhile and fun but everyone is doing book reports at the same time and I sorta feel my time is better spent on real shit and it's hard to squeeze in silly research.

Well not every idea is worth our time, but its good to be a person to whom ideas come easy. But imo anything that promotes personal development and growth is worthwhile!
