/c/TenForward: 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.

It's one of the theories as to why we haven't seen any other intelligent species in the galaxy.
They develop to the point of being able to digitally create their own internal worlds and fantasies and infinitely live in a reality of their own making. They never have to bother exploring, communicating or broadcasting anything into the universe ever. Making them silent and invisible to everyone else.
I knew Veelox was based on reality
like the paxans, THE END OF life aliens in voyager, although it can be considered alternate dimension, and the cytherians.
Yes! I love the concept of "inner space", it's really cool. A lot of SF authors play around with this idea. In particular, Greg Egan explores it a good bit in Diaspora, as well as Peter F. Hamilton in the Commonwealth Saga. I recall Alastair Reynolds touching on the idea in various ways in the Revelation Space novels buuut I don't think things worked out very well in that instance.
yeah as far as how many great filters might work.. thats prob the nicest way 'to go'..
