/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Idk, kind of a trash philosophy when applied.
I'm sure all the world's greatest dictators thought themselves the best of men.
The assumption being that no outside influence or previous experience be considered is a bit short sided. Of course, so is the originating quotation. We try to hope for the best and work with what we've got.
But we should always strive to learn more rational, logical, infallible truths than we currently know.
He's not wrong, dammit. He's just an asshole.
Being a good person is a trash philosophy?
Right, now go read the second of two sentences in my comment.
So... don't be a good person because you could actually be one of the world's greatest dictators. Yeah, that makes sense.
Good being purely subjective and constantly misappropriated by evil makes it a pretty shit philosophy, yes.
Being "good" without democratically and meritocratically defining an objective good is a shit philosophy.
