I thought Disney ruined my life, but it was Star Trek...

[^rooker]

Star Trek is based on things like:

• high standards /helping others / believing in good
• Free Software / Open Hardware
• Interoperable systems
• Repairable hardware
• Adjustable software
• No patents
• Beyond any commercial mindset
• "a few courageous people can make a difference" (Enterprise S02E19)

It's funny that it seems that this is what "mankind" wants to see themselves like - or what they'd like to be.
In an unknown future... Why not now?

I still think this is a social future worth striving for, but when I turn on TV, read the news or talk to others - it seems that the immediate "goal" of theirs is exactly the opposite. Funny that when I ask others "why" they do/buy/choose things they do then - they say: I know. I have to. It's for the kids.

Hm...
