/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.

Thoughts and prayers from the doctor
I'm now just imagining the part in Cyberpunk 2077 where Jakie is dying in the cab, and V shouts "Doc! Ya gotta help him!" And then the Johnny Cab Robert Picardo is like "Damn it, V, I'm a taxi cab not a surgeon!"
"if we're lucky"
World War III was the last of Earth's three world wars, lasting from approximately 2026 to 2053.
It resulted in the deaths of some 30% of the Human population, at least six hundred million people, and the extinction of six hundred thousand species of animals and plants. By the end, most of the major cities had been destroyed and there were few governments left.
In the grand scheme of things... Is 600,000 species of flora and fauna a big number or a small number? IRL, I mean. Obviously in the fiction it's a very small number.

“The road to enlightenment is paved with authenticity, not imitation.” - Alen Cohen
We might still have to go through something akin to the Bell Riots, but if we could just skip over the WWIII bit and the Eugenics Wars while still reaching a "no money, socialist utopia", then I think I can live with it.
When Sisko finally embraced the Hawk inside him, i knew shit was about to hit the fan. And hell, they didn't disappoint.
How to get earth into a post-scarcity world?
to start we almost 100% have to all be in alignment for the most part so that means a one world government for and by the people which cannot be upended by bad actors.
How to get people to work together you might ask?
I think it is through a system like this consensus engine where people can find common ground in their discussion.
from that link, "Define goals and work towards them.
The system can be used to lay out a plan. This plan can be made by those in a certain group or
community. The group can explain their reasons for doing making the plan. The goal itself and
methods of achieving it can be decided on by the users. Detailed lists of steps including sub-steps as
far down as needed, coupled with potential ways for derailment of plan, and ways to deal with those
possibilities are made and voted on. Input can be gathered from everyone or only the town/club/group
hosting the idea and can result in a robust and long lasting plan set into action. "

That’s not really all that far fetched. ☹️

At first, AI. Then guns.
See also VOY s7e5 "Critical Care" for a different perspective on how not to handle health and wellness. I can understand prioritizing by urgency regarding threat to life. What's puzzling is how one's potential social contribution should affect level of care.
